The Hong Kong
University offers forum for
current doctoral
candidates in law
to present work in a focused workshop.
The one-day
workshop will host a total of not more than 4 presenters. Each presenter will
be allocated an exclusive 90-minute session for presentation, substantive
Q&A and stylistic feedback. Each presenter can expect an earnest discussion
on both substance and style from the workshop participants. The workshop
participants will primarily include research postgraduate students from the
University of Hong Kong led by the hosting faculty member, and invited faculty
members whose expertise coincide with the presented paper.
The
workshop will include papers from all areas of law, with no restrictions on
jurisdiction and methodology. There is no strict limitation on paper length,
though papers whose format and length are meant for either an one-hour workshop
discussion or an one-hour job talk presentation are preferred.
Presenters
and participants must commit to attend the entire Workshop, including reading
the presented papers of all presenters prior to the session.
The Workshop
is open to current postgraduate students enrolled in a doctoral program in law
(e.g., PhD or JSD, but excluding JD) in any law school around the world.
Recently graduated doctoral candidates who have not obtained a tenure-track
academic position may also apply, but priority will be given to current
students.
There is no
conference registration fee for presenters. In addition, the University of Hong
Kong Faculty of Law will provide each presenter with travel reimbursement of up
to HK$6000 (approx USD 750) for return economy airfare from either the
presenter's academic institution or home country, and accommodation
reimbursement of up to HK$2000 (approx USD 250) for two night stay in Hong
Kong.
To apply,
send a paper or abstract, together with a CV and a cover letter stating the intended
format/purpose of the paper to Jianlin Chen (jianlin@hku.hk) by October 1,
2013. Decisions will be made and communicated to applicants no later than
October 15, 2013. The finalized paper to be presented is due by November 23,
2013 for distribution a week before the workshop.
