The University of Washington School of Law presents Global Law and Its Exceptions: Globalization, Legal Transplants, Local Reception and Resistance Feb. 25, 2011.
The symposium will explore the idea that there is emerging in almost every field a core of law which we can call “Global Law” which is influencing domestic legal evolutions in particular ways. At the same time, there are areas of law which have traditionally staved off “global influences” such as family law which appear to be fair game in this round of “Global Law.” This symposium will consider this emerging “Global Law”, what is driving it and how the new phase of globalization of law is transforming legal education, practice and legal doctrines.
Presentations will address the globalization of law and economic development, constitutional law, corporate law, international law, human rights law, environmental law, and family law. mw

The University of Kansas School of Law hosts the inaugural “Patent Conference” Friday, April 8, 2011. The call for papers deadline is Feb. 15, 2011.
The Patent Conference, or Pat Con, is a cooperative effort between the University of Kansas School of Law, the Chicago-Kent College of Law, the University of San Diego School of Law, and Boston College Law School to hold an annual conference where patent scholars in law, economics, management science, and other disciplines can share their research. Given the importance, and rapid growth, of academic research into patents, Dave Schwartz, Ted Sichelman, David Olson, and I [Andrew Torrance] believe the time has come for the wide range of scholars engaged in this important work to gather in a regular forum, as scholars in intellectual property have fruitfully done for years. After this year’s inaugural Patent Conference, future annual conferences will rotate among Boston College, Chicago-Kent, San Diego, and the University of Kansas.
If you would like to present your patent research at the 2011 Patent Conference, please submit an abstract to Andrew Torrance at torrance@ku.edu by February 15th, 2011. You are more than welcome to attend even if you prefer not to present. We welcome scholarship from legal academics, but also encourage participation from scholars in economics, business, management science, policy, medicine, public health, engineering, and technology studies. Presenters will be expected to cover their own travel and accommodations expenses, but there will be no registration fee, and meals and refreshments during the conference will be provided. We look forward to your participation in the Patent Conference/Pat Con 2011.
Cheers,
Andrew, Dave, Ted, and David
