• Good Faith, Public Law, Private Law, Philosophy of Law, and History of Law – University of Grenoble Alpes – Deadline (abstract) October 30, 2026

  Posted online on September 17, 2026

  Calenda Listing 1,422,960 (excerpts)

  Originally conceived as a simple moral requirement, good faith has gradually become a legal concept, establishing itself as one of the fundamental principles of contemporary law. It now constitutes a legal requirement governing relationships between legal subjects within domestic legal systems, relationships between citizens and the government, transnational relationships between private individuals, and interstate relations. To highlight the cross-cutting nature of this concept across various legal disciplines, this conference will focus on two main themes: good faith as a legal concept and the functions of good faith.
