The financial crisis still dominates the news – and supposedly will for a while. It affects – more or less – all areas. Therefore Lexxion Publishers organise a workshop to thoroughly discuss and work out European State Aid Law and the Financial Crisis. It is scheduled for 20 February 2009 (whole day) at King’s College London (KCL).
Further details may soon be found at www.lexxion.eu/conferences.

The inaugural Conference on Intellectual Property (CIP) will be held on June 12-13th 2009 at Iona College in New Rochelle, NY, and will include a keynote addresses by Laura M. Quilter, M.L.S., J.D. and painter Joy Garnett.
Whether it be the submission of student papers to plagiarism-detecting websites, the marketing of a movie that chronicles the challenges of a windshield wiper inventor, or the latest debates over the application of nonobvious intention, issues involving intellectual property in the academic, economic, legal, and technological fields challenge the very notion of ownership: what we own, how we own, and who may claim ownership. The purpose of this conference is to explore intellectual property, in a cross-disciplinary context, as both a concept and a reality relating to the professional fields whose concerns intersect in understanding its essence and implications.We invite papers and panels dealing with any and all aspects of intellectual property, from the origins of eighteenth-century literary property debates to the viability and ethics of plagiarism and plagiarism detection, from the economic impact of patents to the technological advances that may make intellectual property obsolete. We especially encourage papers/panels that embrace a multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary approach.
CIP papers and/or abstracts will be included in a conference proceedings, and selected essays may be published in a proposed collection for a peer-reviewed press.
Papers/Panel abstracts should be submitted by February 5th, 2009 to Dr. Amy Stackhouse at astackhouse [at] iona.edu or Dr. Dean Defino at ddefino [at] iona.edu. We look forward to a fruitful and collegial experience.
Update (Feb. 16): The call for papers deadline has been extended to March 6, 2009.

International Law and Regulatory Change: New Models for Japan and China will be held Jan. 16, 2009, at the University of Washington School of Law in Seattle.
Co-sponsored by the American Society of International Law‘s International Economic Law Interest Group, this public workshop, a regional IEL Interest Group event, brings together Japan and China specialists to assess the role of international law and regulatory change in shaping the continuing economic transformation of these two Asian countries. The workshop focuses on the following set of interrelated questions across four different papers: What specific steps have these two countries taken to configure the institutional, legal, and regulatory makeup of their economic realities? In which areas, and to what degree, is their influence evident? What are the main causes and major consequences of their actions for the advance of the legal and regulatory framework in the Asian region as a whole? The discussants for this workshop will include two leading international trade law specialists from China and Japan. As one of the goals of this workshop is to begin to focus on Asia as part of a global legal community, the workshop themes will also be discussed by a leading international economic law specialist who can place the developments in the larger context of legal processes.

The Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights at University College Cork is pleased to announce its third annual postgraduate conference. The theme for this year’s event is “The Promise of Law: Political Claims and the Boundaries of Justice.” The conference will take place on April 30th 2009.The conference will focus on the intersection of law and politics and the tensions between liberty and political expediency in view of contemporary challenges to civil and human rights principles. This international one-day conference will attract promising research scholars from Ireland, the UK and Europe. Although a young event, it has become a significant fixture on the Irish legal calendar, and the Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights has established a reputation for excellence in this area of scholarship.
We are especially interested in papers that relate to human rights, criminal justice or the intersection of these fields. However, we also welcome papers dealing with issues outside these areas that fall within the broad theme of the conference. It is envisaged that the best papers delivered at the conference may be published online.
The keynote address will be delivered by Barbara Hudson, Professor in Law at Lancashire Law School, whose areas of expertise include cosmopolitan theories of justice and feminist jurisprudence. The closing address will be delivered by Maleiha Malik, Reader in Law at King’s College London, who has written extensively on discrimination law, minority protection and feminist theory.
Please submit an abstract (max. 300 words) to the organising committee by Friday February 13th 2009. Successful conference submissions will be notified by February 27th 2008. Submissions and further enquires should be directed to ucclawconf@gmail.com.
