On May 18-19, 2013, the Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law will host its second annual conference. The theme is "Legal Tradition in a Diverse World." I noted the call for papers here. The program is here. Here's the idea:The 2013 conference will explore how legal tradition influences lawyers and the law, in both international and domestic contexts. Law does not develop in a vacuum; it is shaped by the intellectual, cultural and linguistic backgrounds of those who create and administer it. In a world where legal systems increasingly interact, the enduring power of legal tradition necessitates a constant recalibration of theoretical and practical tools to deal with diversity.
