Comparative Legal History: Dialogues on Alternative Conceptions of Comparative Legal History. 30 October 2024 - 17:00-18:00hs (CEST)
The journal Comparative Legal History is an official academic forum of the European Society for Comparative Legal History. It was first published in 2013 and aims to offer a space for the development of comparative legal history. Based in Europe, it welcomes contributions that explore law in different times and jurisdictions from across the globe. Submissions are currently welcome and are being assessed on a rolling basis.
The journal will host a one-hour public session to discuss on alternative conceptions of comparative legal history. Editors (past and present) will present exploratory points and all attendees will be invited to join in a general discussion.
Comparative legal history continues attracting new followers. Scholarship and changes in law school curricula are showing significant developments in this field, with advocates subscribing to this movement from across the globe. What explains this rise in interest in this field of study? And, above all, what is comparative legal history? What are the different conceptions of this tool for the study of law? How is this wave of scholarship and curriculum development related to other fields of study? These and other questions will be explored during this public session.
The event is free and open to the public, and it will take place via Zoom. Registration is required by sending an email to clhdialogues@gmail.com.
