Call for papers

[L. Jane McMillan]

Dear Law and Indigeneity Members,

Please note that the submission deadline is October 15, 2014 for the LSA conference in Seattle May 28-31 2015. "Law's Promise and Law's Pathos in the Global North and Global South. If you are planning to submit a CRN panel or would like your paper placed in a CRN panel – please use the CRN keywords or list CRN 34 in your submission. If you are wanting to strike a panel for submission please do not hesitate to use the list serve to communicate with each other. A business meeting of the CRN will also be scheduled. If you have agenda items please send them via this list.

Below is the conference abstract.

What has law accomplished in the Global North and Global South? Its champions have promised much—the spread of human rights and the rule of law, the elimination of discrimination and the protection of the vulnerable, the lure of economic development and the fostering of global trade, endowments of human dignity and restraints on economic rapacity. Its critics observe law as an instrument for repression, hegemonic control and infringements on privacy and intrusive surveillance (in the context of a never-ending and ubiquitous ‘war against terror’), as a weapon against free speech or political opposition, as a tool of economic exploitation and domination, and as a retreat from politics. The 2015 LSA annual meeting will engage law’s promises and law’s pathos in domestic and transnational contexts, through plenaries addressing the roles of law in the war on terror, in climate change, in emancipation and protection of the world’s most vulnerable populations, and in law’s relationships with religions.

Wishing you all the very best.

Jane
