Planning is now in hand for this year's SLS conference, which is being held at Bristol University on 11-14 September 2012. The conference theme is 'Pressing Problems in the Law and Legal Education'.
The International Law section will be in Group A this year and will be meeting in the first half of the conference, on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 September 2012. I'm now asking for volunteers to present papers at the four sessions that have been allocated to us. Discussion of any aspects of international law will be welcome. The deadline for proposals is 9th March 2012 but all that I require is a provisional title, a short abstract (two or three lines detailing what the paper is about) and an indication of your willingness to participate. In due course, if you commit to presenting a paper, I will need at least an abstract of it by the end of July. As usual, drafts of working papers are as welcome as finely honed pieces ready for publication. A best paper prize will be awarded for a sixth time this year. Details can be found on the SLS web site.
If you are offering more than one paper at the conference, please let me know. This is to enable better planning; it does not mean that individuals are not allowed to present more than one paper.
I am also asked to remind you that speakers do have to book into the conference and pay the appropriate fees.
In the meantime, if you do wish to offer a paper, please reply to me directly (Matthew.Happold[at]uni.lu).
