Northwestern Law School is holding two separate Causal Inference workshops this summer. The workshops are sponsored by Northwestern University, University of Southern California, and the Society for Empirical Legal Studies.
Causal Inference: Frequentist Methods Workshop
The main Research Design for Causal Inference workshop (second annual) will be Mon.-Fri., Aug. 15-19, 2011.
Overview of the core methods for credible causal inference from observational data, where part of the sample is “treated” in some way, the control group is drawn from the rest of the sample, but the researcher controls neither the assignment of units to treatment nor administration of the treatment. Registration deadline: August 2, 2011.
Causal Inference: Bayesian Methods Workshop
A workshop on Bayesian methods for causal inference will be held Mon.-Wed., July 11-13, 2011. Registration deadline: June 24, 2011.

We at the Legal Scholarship Blog routinely look for information about conferences. When we are sent information to post, we try to link to the sponsoring organization’s website and give you ways to find more information.
While trying to track down information related to one conference notice, I found a warning that some email invitations to conferences (including the one I had in front of me) are scams from made-up organizations. The notice is from the Union of International Associations (a legitimate organization listed in UNESCO‘s database of NGOs).
An increasing number of email scams are using NGOs, International NGOs, development agencies, meetings, international conferences etc as the hook to defraud or cheat unsuspecting recipients.Always use caution when responding to or acting on unsolicited bulk email or paper mail.
The Union of International Associations is monitoring these fraudulent announcements and has a list posted on its site. Many of the organizations and conference titles—climate change, human trafficking, HIV/AIDS, and so on—sound very good, but the notices are fraudulent nonetheless. Read email critically. mw

International University College of Turin and the Institute for the Study of Political Economy and Law present Common Core of European Private Law (17th General Meeting) June 16-18, 2011, in Turin, Italy.
Since the crash of the markets in 2008 and overt failure of the Copenhagen summit, the inadequacy of state and market mechanisms to address the most pressing problems of our time has become increasingly apparent and alarming. The current moment, therefore, finds activists, scholars and policy makers urgently searching for new strategies and tactics to not only retool, but also possibly restructure institutional arrangements in domestic and global settings. Over the last couple decades, the rhetoric of “the Commons” has become an increasingly frequent heuristic and mobilizing technique. In the wake of urgent global challenges to both the European Union and the global system, here we are particularly interested in opening the Common Core Project as a platform for exploring the extent to which the comparative law model offers space for understanding and advancing the “Commons.”
