CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
The Younger Comparativists Committee of the American Society of
Comparative Law is pleased to invite submissions for its fourth annual
conference, to be held on April 16-17, 2015, at Florida State University
College of Law in Tallahassee, Florida. The purpose of the conference is
to highlight, develop, and promote the scholarship of new and younger
comparativists.
Conference Subject-Matter and Eligibility
Submissions will be accepted on any subject in public or private
comparative law from scholars who have been engaged as law teachers, lecturers,
fellows, or in another academic capacity for no more than ten years as of June
30, 2015. We will also accept submissions from graduate students enrolled
in masters or doctoral programs.
Submission Instructions
To submit an entry, scholars should email an attachment in
Microsoft Word or PDF containing an abstract of no more than 750 words no later
than November 1, 2014, to the following address: ycc.conference.2015.abstracts@gmail.com. Abstracts should reflect original research that
will not yet have been published, though may have been accepted for
publication, by the time of the conference. Abstracts should also include the
author’s name, title of the paper, institutional affiliation, contact
information, as well as the author’s certification that she/he qualifies as a
younger scholar. Graduate students should identify themselves as such.
Scholars may make only one submission. Both individual and
co-authored submissions will be accepted. For co-authored submissions,
both authors must qualify as eligible younger comparativists. The
conference’s Program Committee will assign individual and co-authored
submissions to thematic panels according to subject area. Proposals for
fully formed panels will also be accepted.
Notification
Authors of the submissions selected for the conference will be
notified no later than December 20, 2014. There is no cost to
register for the conference but participants are responsible for securing their
own funding for travel, lodging and other incidental expenses. A limited
number of travel stipends may be awarded to those who demonstrate financial
need. If you would like to be considered for a travel stipend, please
make that request in your submission.
All scholars selected for the conference, other than graduate
students who wish to be considered for the Colin B. Picker graduate student
prize listed below (and who thus have an earlier deadline), must submit final
papers by email to ycc.conference.2015.papers@gmail.com no later than March 1, 2015.
Colin B. Picker Graduate Student Prize
The second annual Colin B. Picker prize will be awarded for the
best paper submitted by a graduate student. To be considered for the
award, in addition to submitting an abstract by the above deadline, graduate
students whose abstracts are accepted for the conference must also submit their
papers in their final form by January 31, 2015, to ycc.conference.2015.pickerpapers@gmail.com with the following subject line: “Submission for
Graduate Student Prize.” Papers received after January 31, 2015, will not
be considered for the award.
Phanor J. Eder J.D. Prize in Comparative Law
In conjunction with the Conference, the second annual Phanor J.
Eder prize in comparative law will be awarded from among J.D. or LL.B. students
who will have not yet completed their degree as of April 1, 2015. The author(s)
of the winning paper will receive a modest stipend giving them partial funding
to help defray the costs of attending the Conference and presenting the paper
there. A separate call will be forthcoming with the details of the Phanor J.
Eder competition. Final papers will be due on December 31, 2014, in order to be
considered for the competition. Inquiries should be directed to Joshua Karton,
Chair of the Affiliates Advisory Group of the YCC, at joshua.karton@queensu.ca.
