International University College of Turin and the Institute for the Study of Political Economy and Law present Common Core of European Private Law (17th General Meeting) June 16-18, 2011, in Turin, Italy.
Since the crash of the markets in 2008 and overt failure of the Copenhagen summit, the inadequacy of state and market mechanisms to address the most pressing problems of our time has become increasingly apparent and alarming. The current moment, therefore, finds activists, scholars and policy makers urgently searching for new strategies and tactics to not only retool, but also possibly restructure institutional arrangements in domestic and global settings. Over the last couple decades, the rhetoric of “the Commons” has become an increasingly frequent heuristic and mobilizing technique. In the wake of urgent global challenges to both the European Union and the global system, here we are particularly interested in opening the Common Core Project as a platform for exploring the extent to which the comparative law model offers space for understanding and advancing the “Commons.”

Emergency Regulation under the Threat of a Catastrophe: a Hard Look at the Volcanic Ash Crisis will be a two-day workshop at HEC Paris, Nov. 10-11, 2010. Abstracts are due Sept. 15, 2010. A selection of papers will be published in the European Journal of Risk Regulation.
The recent Iceland volcanic ash crisis epitomizes the general problem of emergency response in a world of uncertain manufactured and natural risks. A cloud of volcanic ash preventing travelling across an entire continent probably did not feature in the risk-management scenarios of many firms. No surprise that the immediate and drastic regulatory response which followed soon became an uneven political dispute between industry economic power and regulatory science, with consumers caught in the middle. Regulatory systems designed for careful deliberation and cooperative action had to respond almost instantly to a barrage of data arguments and conflicting legal interpretations, with threats of litigation on one side and the risk of loss of human life on the other.
There will be no cost for presenters to attend the workshop. Both their accommodation and reasonable travelling costs will be covered. mw

The American Enterprise Institute and the Council on Public Policy present Transatlantic Law Forum: The Business of Law at Bucerius Law School in Hamburg, Germany, Sept. 3-4, 2009.
Business litigation in national and international courts is a business, and it is increasingly international. The judicial decisions and doctrines that govern the field are the subject of torrents of law review articles. But we know much less about the institutional aspects of business litigation–the organization of international courts and the strategies, incentives, and organization of corporate interests and their lawyers. How and to what extent do those interests attempt to shape the legal environment, and with what results? How do private corporate litigants fare in European and American courts–and what should we expect for future business litigation?

The Connecticut Law Review’s fall symposium will be The Subprime Crisis: Moving Forward, Oct. 2008. (The journal’s website does not list a specific date.)
The standard subprime conference focuses on yesterday’s issues - i.e., definitions of subprime loans and why the subprime crisis happened. In this conference, in contrast, we will focus on the challenges that lie before us. It came as a shock to policymakers around the world that this seemingly obscure corner of the U.S. consumer credit market morphed into global contagion. Similarly, the United States is groping toward solutions to revive the credit markets and resolve millions of foreclosures. Necessarily, the symposium will be interdisciplinary in nature, involving the intersection of economics, finance, and law.
