PROPOSAL DEADLINE EXTENDED: 15 March 2014
JURIS DIVERSITAS ANNUAL CONFERENCE
2013 Annual Conference
DIFFUSION:
3-4 June 2013, Lausanne, Switzerland
Co-Sponsored with
the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law
[The programme is now available here.]
Theme
The conference's primary theme is the diffusion (transplantation, reception, migration, contamination, etc) of both laws and law-like norms, past and present and around the globe. A critical element in the creation of all legal and normative traditions, diffusion takes many forms. It may be overt or covert, voluntary or involuntary, concentrated or diffuse, colonial or neo-colonial, etc.
Presentations may be case studies or theoretical analyses of diffusion; they may be general (at the level of legal traditions) or specific (trusts, family law, etc.). Participants might analyse, among other topics, entangled legal histories, the diffusion of Western legal models outside of the West, the dominance and rationale for the present diffusion of Anglo-American legal forms, the relevance of legal origins and traditions on contemporary structures, practices, the place of ‘mixed’ and ‘micro’ legal systems, etc.

links to a wide variety of other disciplines and themes (e.g., anthropology,
economics, feminism, history, the humanities, legal education, legal
philosophy, literature, politics …). Proposals may be theoretical analyses or
case studies on the past or present, North or South, East or West …
Proposals may be in either English or
in French. Any proposal on comparative law will be considered.
Panel proposals are strongly encouraged, as is the participation of doctoral
students and scholars from outside of the discipline of law. Proposals of circa 250 words (or 1000 words for
