| 3 | State and Law in the Interwar Period Stream Leader: Dr. Varga Norbert, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Szeged, Hungary. The purpose of the interdisciplinary miniature stream is to introduce such legal institutions that have an effect on the development of the legal systems of different countries and are much in evidence in the contemporary legal reforms related to the foundation of the modern state and law in the interwar period. The combined examination of history and law can draw the attention of the legislators and legal historians of the 20th and 21st Century to the importance of such legal institutions which, if observed from the point of view of legal history, can assist modern codification. The historical legal institutions appearing in the law currently in effect, with the aid of a certain legal “restoration”, can help their understanding, however it does not simply require some sort of theoretical, dogmatic examination but also the analysis of the legal practice and the praxis. Due to the topic (State and Law in the Interwar Period) of the interdisciplinary stream, this may not only be interesting for people working in the field of law or legal history, but can also get the attention of historians and scientists and researchers working on other, various fields. Through the complex and comparative assessment of the different branches of law, we can come up with a general picture on the development and the role in contemporary legal development of each and every legal institution. | Abstract Submitting Form |

| 4 | Liability for Self-driving Vehicles Stream Leader: Dr. Natasa Tomic-Petrovic, Academic Member, ATINER & Associate Professor, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia. t is considered that self-driving vehicles resistant to human errors will be the first great transport revolution of the 21st century. The greatest obstacle to self-driving vehicles is the legal frame. For instance, if the vehicle is not driven by a human being, then, in case of an accident, responsibility could burden the manufacturer of the self-driving operating system of the car. The issue of privacy protection of the owner is also important, because sensitive personal data contained in the system could be misused. Another important issue is the sociological dimension of the use of such vehicles. | Abstract Submitting Form |
