CALL FOR PAPERS
The goal of the conference is to provide young scholars with the possibility to present and discuss their work with peers. We welcome submissions from current J.S.D./S.J.D., Ph.D., master’s and J.D. students, postdocs researchers in law and other related disciplines, and junior faculty members.
The conference will be organized along four fields of research: Comparative Public Law and International Law; Criminal Law Theory; Law and Economics; and Law and Technology. A description of each field is included below. We encourage submissions that approach any of these issues from an interdisciplinary perspective.
If you are interested in participating, please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words indicating the panel or panels you want to be considered for and a short bio that includes your discipline and institution.

Please do not include any personal information in your abstract. Submissions will be selected through a blind process and decisions will be made based on the quality of the abstract.
Should you have any questions, also feel free to contact [email protected], specifying “Inter- University Graduate Conference” in the title of the email.
COMPARATIVE PUBLIC LAW AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
We are seeking insightful abstracts in this broad area, ranging from empirical studies on contemporary and emerging issues to theoretical articles, and including reflections on the methodology and possible limits of studying law comparatively and interdisciplinary.
CRIMINAL LAW THEORY
We welcome abstracts that approach criminal law, criminal procedure, and punishment from philosophical, comparative, and critical perspectives. This panel will explore contemporary global debates about the criminal justice system’s role and scope in democratic societies.
LAW AND ECONOMICS
We welcome abstracts that apply, on the one hand, methodologies traditionally used by economists to the study of law, and, on the other hand, methodologies traditionally used by lawyers to the study of economics.
LAW AND TECHNOLOGY
We welcome abstracts exploring various issues on the intersection of law and technology. This panel will provide an interactive environment in which participants can share ideas and thoughts regarding the development of legal frameworks in response to the common challenges brought by technical innovations.
