15 – 17 September 2014
University of Cambridge
In
September 2014 the Faculty of Law in the University of Cambridge will host a
major international conference on public law. It will be the first in an ongoing
series of biennial conferences. The theme of the inaugural Public Law Conference
is Process and Substance in Public Law. The conference will bring together
scholars, judges and practitioners from a range of public law fields and a
variety of common law jurisdictions. The intention is that the Public Law series
will become established as a pre-eminent forum for the discussion of public law
matters in the common law world.
Academics
and doctoral students are invited to submit proposals to present papers
addressing the conference theme, broadly construed. Without intending to be
prescriptive, examples of topics that would fall within the theme include the
interrelationship between legal procedures and substantive law, procedural
aspects of substantive obligations, substantive aspects of procedural
obligations, the interrelationship between procedural and substantive
obligations, various types of processes such as processes regulating
constitutional relationships, constitutional reform, and the resolution of
grievances, as well as governmental and parliamentary processes. The focus of
the conference is on common law jurisdictions.
Proposals
will be considered by the conference convenors and Advisory Board on the basis
of academic merit and fit with the conference theme. Abstracts of no more than
500 words should be submitted to the convenors at publiclawconference@law.cam.ac.uk as soon as possible, and by
31st December 2013 at the very latest. Those accepted to present papers will be
required to submit full written papers by 30th June 2014 and to register for the
conference in the ordinary way.
Our
confirmed speakers include leading public lawyers from a range of common law
jurisdictions, including Prof Mark Aronson (UNSW), Prof Julia Black (LSE), Prof
Peter Cane (ANU), Prof David Dyzenhaus (Toronto), Prof David Feldman
(Cambridge), Prof Carol Harlow (LSE), Prof Robert Hazell (UCL), Prof Cora
