Professor Rafael Leal-Arcas participated in the annual conference organised by the World Bank on Law, Justice and Development (LJD) 16-20 November. LJD Week 2015 explored the role of Governance and the Law in the social and economic advancement of nations, with a focus on the value of law in producing sustainable development outcomes, in expressing justice, and in serving as a catalyst for justice from different perspectives. Each year, the Law, Justice and Development (LJD) week brings together World Bank Group staff, senior officials from other international financial institutions, international development practitioners, government officials, lawyers, judges, scholars and representatives from civil society.
