The Revival of Distribution Law
This event has already taken place!
Distribution law has long served as a testing ground for innovation in contract law, competition law, and other legal disciplines—notably through the concept of contractual solidarity, the Doubin Act of 1989, and the application of antitrust law.
The question now arises as to whether this catalytic role will persist in the face of new practices (online distribution, short supply chains, partnerships) and emerging legal issues (digital law, compliance, environmental law, and agri-food law).
The goal of these two days is therefore to assess the legacy of distribution law and examine its future along two lines: first, by reexamining its connections to traditional disciplines, and second, by exploring its interactions with new areas of law.
Under the scientific direction of:
- Jean-Louis Respaud, Senior Lecturer (HDR), University of Montpellier;
- Mélanie Cesnut-Puore, Ph.D. in Law, University of Montpellier.
Conference eligible for attorney continuing legal education (150 euros).
