All,
I hope
this finds each of you well.
I write
on behalf of the Juris Diversitas
Executive
with an update on our activities and links to additional
information.
I’m
pleased to announce that our first open annual
conference
will be held in June 2013. Membership
arrangements have also been finalised, including considerable
conference discounts (€50-€60). And, in addition to voting rights and other
possible savings, ordinary
membership will now include a selected volume from our new book
series with Ashgate Publishing.
It’s been a busy year. In addition to other publications
and projects, we published a special issue of the Journal
of Civil Law Studies (US) and held a workshop in Rabat
that’ll result in another event and publication in our book series.
We’ve added a Facebook
Page for the
group. Most recently, we co-organised a workshop in Turin
to take place early next year. We’ve also arranged a
20%
discount on Hart Publishing titles for our blog
readers.
To
continue this work, however, it’s very
important that we receive your support, not least through membership fees. More
generally, please help us spread the word about our activities.
And, as
always, we welcome your thoughts. We’ve so much more to do. For example, we’re
looking for additional proposals for the book series—we’ve a third already—and
volunteers to assist with our online presence. Indeed, ideally we’d make the
blog a place in which we can converse, collect teaching materials,
etc.
For those
who haven’t already done so, I urge you to sign up for our blog notices (on the
right-hand side of the page). You can also add your name to our Facebook
Page and Conference
Site (the latter allowing you to see some of those attending).
We hope
to see many of you at the conference, if not sooner. Best wishes to all for the
holidays and the new year.
Seán
