# Luby Law Days

Luby Law Days (Slovak: Lubyho právnické dni, Latin: Dies Luby iurisprudentiae) is an international legal scientific conference organized in Slovakia in September biennially since 1990. It is named after the Slovak lawyer, Štefan Luby. The 16th Luby Law Days took place in September 2023.
The main organisers are Štefan Luby Foundation and the Faculty of Law of the University of Trnava. The first years were organised by the Faculty of Law of the Comenius University. In addition to them, the Slovak Academy of Sciences and the Slovak Bar Association have been involved in the organisation of some years.
The main initiators of the conference and the founders of the Štefan Luby Foundation that organizes the conference, were the legal theorist Jozef Prusák, the legal romanist Peter Blaho, the professor of civil law Ján Lazar and the professor of labour law, Helena Barancová.
Since 2002, the Luby Law Days has been held at the Smolenice Castle. The papers presented at the conference mainly concern the field of private law and are usually published in book form. The conference is regularly attended by prominent lawyers from the countries of the Visegrád Group, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and the countries of Southern and Eastern Europe. The participants are usually professors and lecturers of private law, but also practitioners or notaries.
According to some lawyers, the conference is "unique in Central and Eastern Europe" in its category.
