The aim of the conference was to provide a forum for early career researchers, scholars, and PhD students of law, history, anthropology, sociology, human rights and other relevant disciplines to present their original and unpublished research on both historical and emerging issues or innovations of law, rights, and justice in Bangladesh.

The conference brought together scholars, practitioners and activists from the country and abroad.

The first session was on Development of Constitutional Institutions: Institutional Perspectives while the second session focused on Women's Rights and Legal Consciousness. The third session was titled Rights and Remedies under the Constitution.
