CALL FOR PAPERS: Tel Aviv University - Faculty of Law: 3rd Annual TAU Workshop for Junior Scholars in Law: "Theory coming to life"


The Tel Aviv University Buchmann Faculty of Law is pleased to invite submissions to its third annual workshop for junior scholars in law. The workshop provides junior scholars with the opportunity to present and discuss their work and receive meaningful feedback from faculty members and peers, and aims to invigorate the scholars’ active participation in the community of international junior scholars in law.
Through law, theory comes into our daily lives in many ways. The workshop will explore the connection between theory and life:
different fields of law, such as criminal law, public law, corporate law, civil law, international law, cyber law, environmental law and others? What is the connection between human rights theories and their acceptance or rejection by different actors? How does legal theory deal with rapid changes in science and technology? What are the potential theoretical justifications to recognize obligations of states towards foreign individuals or communities? How can different actors, such as governments, philanthropists, public litigators and human rights organizations use theory to further their cause? How do lessons learned from historical events affect the formation of theory and practice?
We welcome junior scholars (doctoral candidates, VAPs, writing fellows and recent graduates of doctoral programs) from universities and research institutions throughout the world to submit abstracts engaging with the leading theme of the workshop.
Limited travel grants and accommodation will be available for participants with no institutional funding.
Submissions: Abstracts of up to 500 words of the proposed presentation (with a short bio and your current institutional affiliation(s)) should be submitted by email to TAU.junior.scholars@gmail.com by June 15, 2015. 
Applicants requesting travel grants and/or accommodation should indicate so in their submission, along with the city they expect to depart from and an estimate of the funds requested.
Applicants will be informed of acceptance or rejection by July 15, 2015. Selected presenters must submit their papers up to 10,000 words in length by September 30, 2015.
For further inquiries contact us at TAU.junior.scholars@gmail.com.

Half Day Workshop:  'Mapping Law Globally' 13 May 2015 - 3:00 - 6:30pm Room 313, Law Building, School of Law, Queen Mary University of London, Mile End Road, London E1 4NS Hosted by the  Centre for Law and Society in a Global Context  (CLSGC).  This seminar considers the spatial dimensions of legal processes and the (dis)orderly aspects of geographical processes as we discuss land title registration systems, the world’s first factory and public billboards.  By participating in this conversation between geography and law, we hope for further critical consideration of the racist effects of liquefying land, the different legal mechanisms of industrial place-making, and the role of judicial ‘space-talk’ in constituting public spheres.    Chair Dr Ruth Fletcher , Queen Mary University of London Programme 3-4pm:  Making Land Liquid: Race, Time and Title Registration Author:  Sarah Keenan , Birkbeck University of London Commentator:  Simon Reid...

András Földi — Gábor Hamza HISTORY AND INSTITUTES OF ROMAN LAW

András Földi — Gábor Hamza HISTORY AND INSTITUTES OF ROMAN LAW The most important Hungarian textbook of Roman law for hundred years This textbook succeeds the manual of Roman law written by Róbert Brósz and Elemér Pólay, first published in 1974. The new work of András Földi and Gábor Hamza offers a more extensive treatment not only than that of the textbook which it succeeds, but also than the two-volume, 1941 manual of Kálmán Személyi. In its detailed treatment of the subsequent history of Roman law it can only be compared to the classical work of Tamás Vécsey, the last edition of which appeared in 1907.

The historical part, however, does not deal exclusively with governmental orga­nization and the legal sources of ancient Rome, but also traces in detail the continuous presence of Roman law in different contem­porary legal systems.
