This event will celebrate the extensive and influential research of Professor Nadjma Yassari (Director of the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law) on Islamic law, as well as her outstanding contributions to the field of comparative law. It will also serve as an opportunity to reflect on the groundbreaking work of the research group “Changes in God’s Law – An Inner-Islamic Comparison of Family and Succession Laws” which she led from 2009-2024 at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law. The symposium will feature several panels that explore the past, present, and future of these disciplines together with former members of the research group, colleagues, and long-standing collaborators.
