The conference Ancient Law: Outside the Norms explores the broad spectrum of innovative, often interdisciplinary, approaches to the study of ancient law that have emerged in recent years. 

This conference was part of the project More laws, more problems? The role of (Roman) law in society according to Cornelius Tacitus (project number 019.212SG.010), which is financed by the Rubicon research programme of the Dutch Research Council (NWO). Additional funding for the organisation of the event was provided by the Edinburgh Law School Research and Impact Facilitation Fund.
