ANNUAL CONFERENCE
2-4 June 2015
School of Law, University of Limerick
Limerick, Ireland
THE STATE AND/OF COMPARATIVE LAW
While any proposal on comparative law (broadly conceived) will be considered, the conference’s primary
theme is the relationship between social and legal norms and social and legal
institutions. In memory of Roderick A Macdonald (1948-2014) and H Patrick Glenn
(1940-2014), both former members of our Advisory Council, particular attention will
be given to the diverse themes of their scholarship: for example, ‘common
laws’, ‘constitutive polyjurality’, ‘critical legal pluralism’, ‘everyday law’,
and ‘legal cosmopolitanism’.
As with our past conferences, proposals
on a wide variety of topics will be accepted: comparative jurisprudence and
legislation, legal philosophy, legal education, law reform, etc. Presentations may
be theoretical analyses or case studies on the past or present, North or South,
East or West ….
Panel proposals and interdisciplinary presentations are
strongly encouraged, as is the participation of doctoral students and scholars
from outside of the discipline of law. While parallel sessions of three
twenty-minute presentations will be used, we welcome more original session
structures.
Proposals should be in English or French. Proposals
of c250 words (or 1000 words for panel proposals) should be submitted to
Olivier Moréteau at moreteau@lsu.edu by 15 January 2015, with a
short biography or resume (c250 words). Please
send Word documents only, with minimal formatting.
