Call for panel proposals and papers – ASLC annual meeting
The American Society of Comparative Law (ASCL) has just issued a call for proposals for (1) concurrent panels and (2) a works in progress conference to be held in association with the ASCL 2019 Annual Meeting, which will be held at the University of Missouri School of Law between Thursday, October 17, and Saturday, October 19, 2019. The event is open to ASCL and non-ASCL members.
The theme of the Annual Meeting is “Comparative Law and International Dispute Resolution Processes” and will feature presentations on how comparative law affects various types of cross-border conflict, including litigation, arbitration and mediation. Concurrent panels and works in progress papers need not fall within this general theme, although of course they may. Multilingual panel proposals will be considered as part of ASCL’s mission to foster plurilingualism.
Information on the event, including the call for panel proposals and works in progress submissions, is available at
http://law.missouri.edu/faculty/symposia/comparative-law-international-dispute-resolution-processes/ Proposals will be accepted until May 20, 2019.
