Mathias Reimann (University of Michigan Law School), Jacqueline Ross (University of Illinois College of Law), and Kim Lane Scheppele (Princeton University, Program for Law and Public Affairs) are calling for paper submissions for the Third Annual Comparative Law Works in Progress Workshop which will take place at Princeton University from February 6-7, 2009. The arrival date would be February 5. This workshop will co-sponsored by the American Society of Comparative Law.
Interested authors should submit papers electronically to Kim Lane Scheppele (kimlane@Princeton.EDU) by December 31, 2008. We will inform them of our decision by early January, 2009. "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 (although it may have 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 an 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 in a discipline badly in need of it.
