CONFERENCE BOOKLET 

What do you want to know?" — This provocative question from the film Anatomy of a Fall (2023) encapsulates the essence of crises: their profound ability to compel urgent inquiries, challenge established understandings, and expose deep-seated vulnerabilities within our social, economic, and ecological systems.

Building upon a tradition of taking inspiration from cinematography, the 18th Annual McGill Graduate Law Conference, themed "Anatomy of a Crisis," offers a platform to examine crises through diverse legal lenses. At their core, crises intersect human behavior, institutional shortcomings, and structural inequalities, with law playing a dual role—both responding to and, at times, exacerbating these pivotal moments.

This year's panels explore a broad spectrum of critical themes, including cyber warfare, space law, indigenous justice, trade and investment conflicts, environmental law, and the crises surrounding access to justice and institutional effectiveness.
