American Jewish Congress and the American University Washington College of Law will sponsor an International Conference on Gender and Justice to take place from June 14-16, 2009 at American University Washington University College of Law, 4801 Massachusetts Avenue, N. W., Washington, D. C.
The conference will bring together women judges from around the world, including judges from countries that have only recently begun to place women on the bench, and from countries whose constitutions mandate gender equality, but whose governments make little or no effort to effect implementation. Our goal is to examine advances made in recent years, to highlight the challenges women continue to face and to chart a course for future legal and judicial empowerment for women, world-wide.

The University of Girona hosts Neutrality and Theory of Law May 20-22, 2010. The conference commemorates the first fifty volumes in Marcial Pons publishers’ Philosophy and Law collection. Universtat Pampeu Fabra is also an organizer of the conference.
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
Our objective is to offer an event of the utmost magnitude in the iusphilosophical debate that will gather the different legal traditions, addressed specifically toward the Hispanic-American community.
Registration for this event is now available at the conference website.

Emory Law School’s Feminism and Legal Theory Project presents Transcending the Boundaries of Law: Feminism and Legal Theory’s 25th anniversary conference November 6-8, 2008.
It is hard to believe that the FLT project begins its 25th year in 2008! To celebrate we are planning a major interdisciplinary conference on November 6-8, 2008 involving world renowned feminist scholars who presented papers at FLT events early in their careers, as well as their former students and many others who have made a significant impact to feminist theory throughout the first quarter century of the project. We have also secured Routledge as the publisher for an anthology of the papers from the conference entitled Transcending the Boundaries of Law. Routledge published the first ever anthology on feminist theory, At the Boundaries of Law, which was edited by Martha [Fineman].
