“Comparative
Law: From Antiquity to Modernity”
The Irish Society of Comparative Law (ISCL)
and the School of Law of the University of Limerick are pleased to announce the
sixth annual conference of the ISCL to be held in Limerick on 5-6 June 2015.
The ISCL held its first annual conference here in 2009.
The conference organisers encourage proposals
which have both comparative and historical elements. Submissions on any era of
legal history will be considered, as will papers on comparative and historical
methodologies. However, any comparative
topic may be proposed, eg private law, criminal law and criminal justice, public
or constitutional law, legal education, etc. In addition, proposals on European
or International law will also be considered.
The
deadline for receipt of proposals is Friday,
30 January 2015. Proposals by both members and non-members, as well as by professional
academics and graduate students, are welcome.
Proposals should
be short (250 words) and sent to the Conference Organiser, Dr Laura Cahillane at ISCL2015@gmail.com . Presentations will be
twenty minutes long.
The Conference fee will be €50 for members of the
ISCL and €100 for non-members. (Membership fees are €50, student membership is
free). The ISCL regrets that it cannot cover travel or accommodation expenses.
The
ISCL was established in June 2008 and is recognised by the International Academy of Comparative Law. The ISCL is open to those
interested in Irish and comparative law. Its purpose is to encourage the
comparative study of law and legal systems and to seek affiliation with
individuals and organisations with complimentary aims. Queries should be
directed to niamh.connelly@tcd.ie.
