Texas A&M Law and the American Society of Comparative Law (ASCL) are now accepting proposals for this year's ASCL Annual Meeting on October 18-19. ASCL, the leading organization in the United States for promoting the comparative study of law, invites all interested scholars, practitioners, and advanced degree students to submit paper presentations or concurrent panels.
This year's theme is “Innovation and Sustainability: Comparative Law for a Better World.” While it has long been supported that innovation is fundamental for economic development, the need for sustainability has become more evident to avoid violating human rights and depleting natural resources.
The annual meeting, which will be held at the law school, aims to attract scholars from different backgrounds and areas of law throughout its discussions, directly contributing to advancing debates and initiatives of innovation and sustainability.
Both individual and panel proposals are due by May 31, 2024. Submission information can be found on the proposal submission page. The ASCL Program Committee will announce that accepted proposals will be made by the end of June 2024.
Those submitting concurrent panel and paper proposals should be aware that the ASCL’s reimbursement policy with its limit per ASCL member school applies and that only faculty from ASCL member schools are eligible for reimbursement. No additional funding is available to assist participants with travel or related costs.
