Dear All, 

I am pleased to forward on a flyer and call for abstracts for next year’s Australasian Society of Legal Philosophy’s 2026 conference, which is being hosted at the University of Queensland in July next year.  You will see that there is a private law theory stream and that theory is broadly construed so as to be highly inclusive.

It would be wonderful to see some of you here in Brisbane. 

Apologies for any cross-posting. 

Best wishes, 

Kit.
