Harvard Law School and Stanford Law Schoolare launching
the legal academys first international junior faculty conference. The annual conference is aimed at identifying and bringing the next generation of leaders in legal scholarship from across the world together at the Harvard and Stanford campuses.
A distinguished panel of some twenty senior legal scholars from across the world will select the papers to be presented and will serve as commentators at the conference itself. Papers may be on any legally relevant subject, and may utilize any legally relevant approach — quantitative or qualitative, sociological, anthropological, historical, or economic — on the role and function of law and legal systems in the modern world, or in the past.
The first conference will be at Stanford in October 2008. The first call for papers deadline is Jan. 4, 2008.
