The Graduate Law StudentsÂ’ Society of the University of British Columbia invites graduate students in all disciplines to participate in its 16th annual interdisciplinary academic conference, to be held in Vancouver, Canada, May 13-14, 2011. The theme for the 2011 conference is Creative Law.
The conference is intended to promote reflection on “creativity and the law” in all the possible senses of that phrase: law and its interaction with the arts, including literature and theatre; innovation within the law and innovative uses of the law; the development of new law; legal postmodernism; new and distinctive ways of interpreting law; the relationship between law and religion; the application, adoption or appropriation of law in or by other disciplinesÂ…and in a thousand other ways.
The call for papers deadline is Feb. 4, 2011.
