You Can Help the Legal Scholarship Blog!

We know that many of you find the Legal Scholarship Blog useful.  You’re busy people, and you wouldn’t waste precious time visiting the site (or subscribing via email or RSS feed) if you didn’t.

We’d like to remind you that you can help make this blog even more useful to you and others like you.

  1. If you are organizing an event, please send us an announcement or — even better — a link to a web page with information.
  2. If you are participating in an event that hasn’t been listed yet, send us a link.
  3. If your friends and colleagues are organizing events, remind them to write to us.
  4. If a journal at your school is organizing a symposium or putting out a call for papers, remind the editors to write to us.

The blog is a cooperative venture between the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and the Gallagher Law Library of the University of Washington School of Law.  But the cooperation is much wider than just us — the blog benefits every time anyone sends us an item to post.

Oh, and where do you send things? legalscholarshipblog [at] gmail.com.

Thanks for your help!

Philosophy and Law – Girona, Spain

May 20, 2010toMay 22, 2010

Marcial Pons publishers — along with the research groups in Philosophy of Law from the Universidad de Girona and the Universidad Pompeu Fabra — are organizing an international conference commemorating the first fifty volumes of its Philosophy of Law series. The conference will take place May 20-22, 2010, in Girona, Spain.

Our aim is that the conference will be a meeting place for authors and readers of our books. For this reason twelve authors from the collection will be speakers at the event Dr. Robert Alexy, Dr. Juan C. Bayón, Dr. Brian Bix, Dr. Eugenio Bulygin, Dr. Bruno Celano, Dr. Jules L. Coleman, Dr. Riccardo Guastini, Dr. Brian Leiter, Dr. Jorge Luis Rodríguez, Dr. Frederick Schauer, Dr. Scott J. Shapiro, Dr. Wilfrid J. Waluchow. We have chosen the theme “neutrality and theory of Law” as the backbone of the speeches because it is one of the most frequently found, either directly or indirectly, in the books of the collection.
