Deadline for Abstract Submissions: December 17, 2007

Submissions are invited for the Fourth International Conference on Contracts, the largest annual scholarly conference devoted to all aspects of contract law, scholarship, and practice. The conference will be hosted by the McGeorge School of Law of the University of the Pacific.

Each year the Conference's goal is to present papers and works-in-progress that address the whole spectrum of contract scholarship, whether doctrinal, historical, jurisprudential, economic, philosophical, pedagogical, or interdisciplinary. Presentations by those who work in non-U.S. legal systems and by junior scholars who are new to the field are particularly encouraged. Proposals for entire panels with particular themes are welcome. Individual paper and works-in-progress submissions will be assigned to panels.

There is no publication requirement for participation in the Conference, although organizers of individual panels may arrange for publication as mini-symposia in law reviews.

WINE TOUR

As part of the Conference, Pacific McGeorge School of Law is pleased to organize a bus tour of three Napa Valley wineries, which will include free transportation and lunch for attendees, although participants will be responsible for their own wine tasting fees and purchase. The free optional tour will take place Sunday, February 10, 2008 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions should identify the author(s) and contain an abstract (not more than 500 words) of the proposed presentation. Proposed panels should include the names and contact information for all participants. Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis. Those received after the deadline will be accepted on a space-available basis. Submissions should be made by e-mail (preferred) or regular mail, to:
