    ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
    Access to justice in South Asia is multifaceted, involving the intricate interplay
    of legal infrastructure, societal norms, economic factors, and technological
    advancements. In the diverse and populous nations of the South Asia region,
    ensuring equitable access to justice remains a paramount yet challenging goal.

    Bearing these considerations in mind, GCLS is convening this conference. This


    year's Conference is dedicated to exploring dimensions of access to justice in
    South Asia. By facilitating critical discussions that bring together experts,
    scholars, and practitioners from diverse fields, the conference seeks to redefine
    access to justice across the region. Key discussions would include empowering
    child-friendly legal processes, justice through alternative dispute resolution,
    advancing social justice via interdisciplinary programs in legal education,
    aligning legal reforms with SDG 16.3, and fostering innovative entrepreneurial
    solutions. The Conference also aims to collaboratively craft actionable
    strategies and roadmaps, fostering a fair, inclusive, and efficient legal
    landscape.
