2-4 June 2015
Limerick, Ireland
Co-sponsored by the School of Law, University of Limerick
Co-sponsored by the School of Law, University of Limerick
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 28 FEBRUARY 2015, with a short biography or resume (c250 words). Please send Word documents only, with minimal formatting.
Registration fees are €200 (€125 for Juris Diversitas members paid up for 2015). Membership and fee payment information is available on the Juris Diversitas Blog (http://jurisdiversitas.blogspot.ie/). Note that fees don’t cover travel, accommodation, or the conference dinner (€50).

2014 Annual Conference: COMPARATIVE LAW AND …
17-19 July 2014, Aix-en-Provence, France
Co-sponsored by the Faculty of Law
and Political Science – Aix-Marseille
University
Inherently
interdisciplinary, the conference’s primary focus will be comparative law’s
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 …
With keynote addresses by
Jan Smits (opening), Duncan Fairgrieve and François Lichère, over sixty
presentations, and two panels, this is a great opportunity to reflect and interact with
scholars, from around the world, working at the edge of comparative law and other
disciplines.
2013 Annual Conference: DIFFUSION
3-4 June
2013, Lausanne, Switzerland
Co-Sponsored with
the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law
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.
