The foundational values that anchor lawyers and judges &#8211; integrity, independence, accountability &#8211; must now withstand forces of profound transformation. Technological disruption through legal tech and AI, the instability of political and regulatory institutions, stubborn access to justice issues, the demands of transnational practice, and the intensifying commercialization of the profession all test the boundaries of professional identity and responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>ILEC\u202fXI invites critical reflection on how legal actors can balance continuity with innovation &#8211; how lawyers and judges can preserve the moral and institutional coherence of the law while responding constructively to change. We welcome proposals which examine these tensions using theoretical, empirical, and comparative perspectives, and which explore ethical, regulatory, and societal responses to transformation in legal practice and adjudication.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\tTopic Streams\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<ol>\n<li>Access to Justice Ethics<\/li>\n<li>Empirical and Interdisciplinary Approaches to Ethics, the Legal Profession, and the Judiciary<\/li>\n<li>Ethics in the Judiciary<\/li>\n<li>Education in Lawyer and Judicial Ethics<\/li>\n<li>Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Technology in the Legal Profession and the Judiciary<\/li>\n<li>Globalization and Comparative Legal Ethics<\/li>\n<li>Governmental Lawyers and Ethics<\/li>\n<li>Leadership in Ethics<\/li>\n<li>Philosophy and Ethics<\/li>\n<li>Regulation of the Legal Profession<\/li>\n<li>Rule of Law and Legal Ethics<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Legal Ethics Conference 2026 (ILEC XI) &#8220;Continuity and Transformation&#8221; Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore, Dec 9-11, 2026 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"disabled","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11623","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/ilec-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11623"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/ilec-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/ilec-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/ilec-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/92"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/ilec-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11623"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/ilec-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11947,"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/ilec-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11623\/revisions\/11947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.nus.edu.sg\/ilec-2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
