Call for Papers: LSGL Academic Conference! on Global Law, Community and Solidarity! 18 February 2025!
18 February 2025 | University of Edinburgh
Theme: Global Law, Community and Solidarity
The Law Schools Global League (LSGL) is delighted to announce its forthcoming Academic Conference to be hosted by Edinburgh Law School in Scotland. LSGL faculty members, researchers, and Ph.D. students are cordially invited to submit their research papers and participate in stimulating discussions on global law and global legal education. The conference will provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and perspectives on the theme of Global Law, Community, and Solidarity.
Global Law, Community and Solidarity
Community and Solidarity are important concepts of our time as we collectively face climate crises, energy and economic instability, and violence and conflict around the globe. During one of the most significant challenges faced in many lifetimes, the Covid-19 pandemic, we saw the globalisation of solidarity and community – but also alienation, suspicion and disunity.
The aim of this conference is to explore community and solidarity in more detail, seeking to understand and discuss their importance, histories, legal application, legal practice, and role in global legal education and global governance.
Guidelines
Applicants are invited to submit an abstract of up to 500 words, together with a short CV in the same word document. Submissions should be sent to [email protected] by 8 November 2024 with the email subject clearly marked “Abstract Submission LSGL Academic Conference”.
Proposals will be reviewed by a panel consisting of the current LSGL co-presidents and faculty members from Edinburgh Law School. Selected presenters will be informed by 18 November 2024.
