Co-sponsored by the American Society of Comparative Law; the Program in Law and Public Affairs, Princeton University;
the University of Illinois College of Law and the UCLA School of Law
Workshop Planning Committee:
Kim Lane Scheppele, Program in Law and Public Affairs, Princeton University
Maximo Langer, University of California at Los Angeles School of Law
Jacqueline Ross, University of Illinois College of Law
The annual workshop continues to be an important forum in which comparative law work in progress can be explored among colleagues in a serious and thorough manner that will be truly helpful to the respective authors. "Work in progress" means scholarship that has reached a stage at which it is substantial enough to merit serious discussion and critique but that has not yet appeared in print (and can still be revised after the workshop, if it has already been accepted for publication.) It includes law review articles, book chapters or outlines, substantial book reviews, and other appropriate genres.
Our objective is not only to provide an opportunity for the discussion of scholarly work but also to create the opportunity for comparative lawyers to get together for two days devoted to nothing but talking shop, both in the sessions and outside. We hope that this will create synergy that fosters more dialogue, cooperation, and an increased sense of coherence for the discipline.
