Law’s Encounters: Co-existing and Contradictory Norms and Systems
Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba
Law’s Encounters: Co-existing and Contradictory Norms and Systems
Law is dynamic. Over the course of time, law changes within and across societies. These changes are influenced by the course that society takes and in turn, society changes based on the dictates of law. In the process of societal interactions, law becomes expressed in multiple forms. Some of these forms are complementary, others are contradictory. The focus of the Canadian Law and Society’s Annual Meeting in 2014 is law’s multiple encounters in navigating interactions in society. It involves an exploration of co-existing legal and socio-legal norms as well as the contradictions inherent in some of these encounters. We are interested in papers, panels and other groups that explore law’s encounters at the margins as well as the center.
Our broad theme explores several areas of socio-legal thought and scholarship including:
- Disciplinary allegiances in socio-legal scholarship
- Indigenous laws and traditions and other legal
systems
- Interactions between social norms, statute and other forms of legal expression
- International law/norms and domestic law
- Historical foundations of law’s multi-faceted encounters
- New and emerging socio-legal encounters
- Law’s encounters with gender, disability, race, health, age, criminalization etc.
- Crises – war, terrorism, financial crises and others – and spontaneous development of laws in light of pre-existing norms
- Law’s encounters with difference
- Interactions between social norms, statute and other forms of legal expression
- International law/norms and domestic law
- Historical foundations of law’s multi-faceted encounters
- New and emerging socio-legal encounters
- Law’s encounters with gender, disability, race, health, age, criminalization etc.
- Crises – war, terrorism, financial crises and others – and spontaneous development of laws in light of pre-existing norms

CALL FOR PAPERS: How Law Sorts its World: Classification and Categories in the Making of Jurisdictions
Apologies for the late notice about this very exciting (proposed) session:
Call for Papers for Proposed Session:
"How
Law Sorts its World: Classification and Categories in the Making of
Jurisdictions"
This panel will
examine technical forms of differentiation, classification, and sorting that
situate people and phenomena in relation to different bodies of law. Its
central concern is the ways in which such distinctions shape boundaries of
jurisdiction by establishing categories of subjects and objects suitable to -
or, alternatively, outside of - law’s reach. As Bradin Cormack (2007) explains,
to consider jurisdiction implies “an abstraction upward from a sphere of
substantive law” in which “the latter confronts, in practice, the question of
its competence over a given case.” Panelists will explore the criteria, actors,
and forms of knowledge that their own research finds creating and reinforcing
the distinctions that resolve such questions of competence. The panel may also
consider how jurisdiction carries embedded categories which validate and further
entrench modes of classification and/or make them transferrable across legal and
regulatory domains. Of particular interest will be the ways in which not only
spatial, but also temporal and conceptual boundaries become factors determining
the application or non-applicability of law.
