A bit of Oñati in Toronto
By Tanya Monforte
"The 2018 Law & Society meeting held at the Toronto Sheraton must have been one of the largest meetings of the association. It was an extremely well organized, massive conference with enriching panels throughout. However, one can get lost in the shear numbers of panels and bodies. I found myself circulating through the various hallways, winding up and down the many levels to find the meeting rooms—searching out a new bit of research, a refreshing new twist on method. By the end, hitting maximum conference saturation I was not sure I could meet one more person or discuss one more research topic. However, there was one dinner I would not miss irrespective of my level of conference fatigue—that was the Oñati gathering."
[+]
The Oñati Sessions aim to open a new window of interaction between the IISL and the socio-legal community in general.To join the discussion on the organisation of the Oñati Session in RCSL, Law and Citizenship Beyond the States, 10-13 September, Lisbon (Portugal), click here.

The IISJ is the best place to research and write that I know. The city, in the heart of Euskadi, is very cozy and its people heartly receptive. Beyond the installations of the institute and the residence (the Antia Palace), there is an environment full of inspiring and calming elements that both help to focus on work and allows a renewing daily experience: wonderful gastronomy, walks on the beautiful hills and a strong contact to the basque culture both in Oñati and close cities, such as Donostia/San Sebastián, Bilbo and Gasteiz/Vitoria.

 Stefan Larsson (Lund University, Sweden): 20/06/2018 - 20/07/2018
"Given the very rich socio-legal library and the inspiring milieu of the IISL, I’ve tried to combine notions of the law in “these books” and to apply it on the debates around AI and algorithms “in practice”, to paraphrase Roscoe Pound. The insights in sociology of law that has been fostered over long time, I am certain, do have many important contributions to make in the challenges of new technologies, the digital society as I see it, including coming developments of AI and machine learning being deployed in society and everyday life."
