The International Law Institute ("ILI") is pleased to announce a Program on Modernizing Russian Law, to be held in ILI's newly renovated conference facilities on April 4, from 10:00 am -12:00 pm.

The Program will feature a:

• Presentation by Professor Victor Mozolin, former Professor and Head of the Department of Civil and Family Law, Moscow State Juridical Academy and Senior Researcher, Institute of Legislation and Comparative Jurisprudence
• Professor Peter Maggs, Clifford M. and Bette A. Carney Chair in Law, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, will provide comments

Professor Mozolin will describe the current debate among Russian law scholars on how legislation and the Civil Code can best promote Russian economic development.

Don Wallace, Jr., Chairman of the ILI, will host the program and Randy Bregman, a partner at Dentons, will moderate.

Attendees will have the chance to put questions to the Panel, and it is anticipated that discussions of the topic under consideration will be most enlightening for practitioners and scholars interested in the changing structure of law in the development of the Russian economy.
