The Center on Globalization, Law, & Society (GLAS) at the University of California, Irvine School of Law is hosting a two day symposium on Transnational Legal Orders for Private Law and Business Regulation on May 13-14, 2015.
This symposium assesses and evaluates the extent of change in private law and business regulation that transcends the nation state.
The symposium evaluates developments in these areas, and the challenges and limits various initiatives face. The symposium brings leading legal theorists and empirical scholars from different countries into dialogue. The participants will engage, in particular, with the theoretical lens of “transnational legal orders” as elaborated in the new book by Terence Halliday and Gregory Shaffer, Transnational Legal Orders (Cambridge University Press 2015)
