From 31 August to 4 September, the city of Fez in Morocco will house the 49th UIA Congress, which will centre around two main themes: Lawyers of the World: A Single Code of Ethics and Digital World: Challenges for the Legal System. The 49th UIA Congress will also offer participants the chance to attend evening activities and sumptuous ceremonies, such as the opening ceremony, in the large square of Bab el Makina, the Fez light and sound show and the closing dinner in the Batha Museum. We do hope that all our members will make every effort to attend and participate in this Congress. The complete programme and registration for the congress is available on www.uianet.org.
