From the year 2001 on, the institute organises annually in Bernardin the professional legal conference named the Civil Law Days, which is evolving into the central meeting of Slovenian lawyers working in the field of private law in academic circles, in judiciary and in business. Each conference is focused on a set of selected current issues of private law, defined narrowly so as to enable in-depth discussion combining legal theory and practice. In private law, one can notice a typical parallelism in the development of related European legal systems, recently invigorated by the use of comparative legal methods in the transposition of EU‘s harmonising instruments into domestic legal order. The growing intervention of EU’s secondary legal sources in Member State’s domestic private law presents many new questions to the practitioners and theorists of civil law. Members of the research group, together with other leading Slovenian legal experts, regularly take part at the conference and thereby disseminate the results of their research work to the wide professional audience. Lecturers are motivated by the questions of legal practitioners from the audience to try to provide answers to concrete legal problems and offer guidance for the use in practice. The aim of the debate between scholars and practitioners of civil law is to form conclusions serving as landmark in the development of the civil legal theory and guidance for the courts. The main findings of each conference are subsequently presented to the wider professional public in the form of scientific contributions published in the annual scientific publication of Comparative Law Institute.
