CANCELLATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW CONFERENCE 

Unfortunately, due to ongoing uncertainty as to when travel restrictions will be lifted, we have taken the decision to cancel the Environmental Law Conference currently scheduled for 23-24 April 2021 in Fiji. We hope to schedule a replacement conference at some time in the future, but at present we cannot be sure as to dates. Please check the LAWASIA website and social media platforms for any updates.
