It is already the ninth “Justice, Law, and Society” seminar organized by Aspen Institute Kyiv. We are convinced that dialogue has a big impact on the development of a legal state and a good society. For that reason Aspen Institute Kyiv unites leaders who influence the reforming of the legal system for the comprehension of challenges they daily face and for the search of ways to overcome them. – states Olena Fomina, the director of the “Justice, Law and Society” program.
