Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2005 15:52:47 From: Roderick Bagshaw Subject: Call for TORT papers - SLS - Strathclyde - Sept 2005
Below is a call for papers for the Torts Subject Section at the 2005 Annual Conference of the Society of Legal Scholars (meeting at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland). Some of those who gave papers at last year's conference in Sheffield are regular contributors to discussion on this list. Long may the tradition continue! ---
Call for Papers for TORTS subject section SLS Annual Conference, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, September 2005 Timing and location: The TORTS Subject Section will be meeting at the SLS Annual Conference at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The full conference runs from 2 pm on Tuesday 6th September until 12.45 pm on Friday 9th September. The University of Strathclyde is in central Glasgow. Most attendees will be staying in hotels in Glasgow. The SLS Annual Dinner, on Wednesday 7th September 2005, will be held in Stirling Castle. The TORTS subject section will be meeting during the second half of the conference: Thursday 8 th September, 11.15 am – 12.45 pm, 4 pm – 5.30 pm; Friday 9 th September 9.15 am – 10.45 am, 11.15 am – 12.45 pm. Papers: The TORTS subject section uses a format where each 90 minute session is divided between two papers. Thus paper is allocated 45 minutes and, ideally, the presenter should aim to spend no more than 25 minutes presenting the paper so as to allow time for discussion. Ideally, papers should be made available in advance (for instance, in the form of a draft) so that they can be distributed to delegates though an electronic paperbank on the SLS website. Offers of papers: If you would like to present a paper in the TORTS subject section then please contact the section convenor (roderick.bagshaw@law.ox.ac.uk) by 1st March 2005. If possible, please provide the title of your paper, a brief summary of its likely contents, and any information relevant to the selection criteria (below). Please also indicate if you are willing to undertake to produce a draft paper by 12th August 2005 (for distribution through the paperbank on the SLS website). IMPORTANT NOTE: presenters of papers must BOOK into and PAY for the SLS Conference like other delegates. The TORTS subject section does not cover the registration costs, accommodation costs or travel costs of those giving papers. Selection criteria: In the last two years more papers have been offered to the TORTS subject section than could be fitted into the schedule. In choosing between offers of papers the convenor intends taking into account (and seeking to balance!) the following criteria: - the desirability of hearing high quality papers - the desirability of hearing papers likely to be of significant interest to a large number of members of the TORTS subject section - the desirability of hearing papers which will be available in advance through the paperbank on the SLS website - the desirability of hearing papers from scholars who have not presented papers to the TORTS subject section in recent years - the desirability of hearing papers from postgraduate members and members who are early in their careers - the desirability of being able to put two papers on related topics together into a single session - the desirability of not having overlapping papers - the desirability of having a balance between the topics, jurisdictions and styles of scholarship covered by papers. Peculiar personal preferences: The convenor would be particularly interested in offers of papers concerning the ongoing efforts to unify or harmonize tort law across Europe (through the drafting of common principles, etc). The convenor would be particularly interested in offers of papers which take account of Scots Law. Further comments: Please feel free to get in contact with me (roderick.bagshaw@law.ox.ac.uk) if you want to discuss any matters further. I look forward to seeing many of you in Glasgow.
