The International Union of Judicial Officers is a partner of Lawial, a new social network entirely dedicated to legal professionals. It invites its members to sign up free of charge and to follow the UIHJ on the platform.
Lawial describes itself as “the legal social network”. It is designed for lawyers, notaries, judges, legal counsel, academics, judicial officers and students, as well as for legal organisations. Its aim is to bring the international legal community together in a single space, to stay informed, connect and work together.
Lawial brings several tools together. A legal news feed helps users keep track of developments. A calendar lists events and training courses. A professional network helps users find the right contacts. And 29 thematic communities, one per field of law, allow peers to exchange views. Organisations can also create their own community space to share their news and legal scholarship, list their events and bring their members together.
The UIHJ is one of Lawial’s partners, alongside the International Association of Lawyers (UIA), Justice Info and Village de la Justice, among others. It already has its own page on the platform. The 26th International Congress of the UIHJ, to be held in Estoril from 28 to 30 April 2027, is already on the Lawial calendar.
Registration is free. Simply go to www.lawial.com and click “New to Lawial? Create an account”. The form asks for an email address, a password, and your first and last names. Then accept the terms of use and click “Create an account”. The interface is available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Lawial gives high priority to data protection. According to the platform, data is hosted on European servers and is never sold.
The UIHJ encourages its members, and national chambers in particular, to join Lawial and create their own space. The more judicial officers join, the more clearly our profession will be heard.
