Opening & Bar Leaders' LAWASIA Roundtable: Bar Issues during the Pandemic in each Jurisdiction

 

With cancellation of the annual LAWASIA conference due to the coronavirus, there will obviously not be an opportunity for bar leaders from the LAWASIA region to meet formally or informally face-to-face to exchange views on recent developments in their respective jurisdictions.  As a substitute for the cancelled conference, LAWASIA is conducting a series of seminars on conference topics throughout September and October 2020. 

As part of this initiative, we wish to institute a gathering of bar leaders in a Zoom meeting format. All those participating will have an opportunity to contribute to the discussion which will be led by our President, Chunghwan Choi from South Korea.
