The Law and Development Institute will host its tenth annual international conference on law and development in Dubai, UAE, on December 6, 2019 in collaboration with the University of Dubai College of Law and the University of Sharjah College of Law.

- Cases of Successful Development in the Islamic World
- “Law” as a Bridge Between the Islamic and non-Islamic Worlds for Development
