2016 Annual Conference:
Unity and/or Diversity
Unité ou diversité
Unité ou diversité
May 30 to June 1, 2016
Louisiana State University Law Center
Baton Rouge, USA
Theme: Comparative legal studies have long been perceived as an
engine pulling legal traditions and systems towards
convergence, harmonization, and unification. Today, legal pluralism
pushes towards the recognition of human and social diversity.
Does this mean that we have to choose between unity and
diversity, Jus unum or juris diversitas? To what extent do pluralistic
societies embrace or reject harmonization and uniformity,
or simply ignore them? Do we unify or add layers, increasing the
complexity of legal orders? Does history reflect a move from
diversity to unity or an ongoing conflict between the two? What
makes unity successful or sustainable? This is an invitation to
discuss, in an interdisciplinary way, the development of laws and
social norms, in the dialectical tension between the ontological
unity of human beings and mankind and the plurality of individual
aspirations and social arrangements.
Registration fees: €200 or €125 for Juris Diversitas members paid up
for 2016. Membership and fee payment information is available on
the Juris Diversitas Blog (http://jurisdiversitas.blogspot.com/).
Note that fees don’t cover travel, accommodation, or the
conference dinner (€50).
