SUMMARY:Conference: American Society of Comparative Law's Annual Meeting\, University of Missouri
DESCRIPTION:Comparative Law and International Dispute Resolution Processes\n\n\n\nAmerican Society of Comparative Law 2019 Annual Meeting Program\nIn cooperation with the University of Missouri Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution\, the University of Missouri International Center\, and Media Partner Transnational Dispute Management (TDM)/OGEMID/Young OGEMID. \nOctober 17-19\, 2019\n \n\n\n\nOverview\nProgram\nRegister\nWorks-in-Progress Conference\nConcurrent Panels\n\n\n\nOverview\nComparative law has long been an integral part of the international dispute resolution process\, regardless of whether the matter involves litigation\, arbitration\, mediation\, conciliation or negotiation. However\, scholars have seldom focused on the comparative element\, preferring instead to analyze various issues as a matter of public or private international law. While it is important to consider dispute resolution as a reflection of international law\, that perspective does not answer all relevant questions. \nThe American Society of Comparative Law’s 2019 annual program seeks to delve more deeply into how comparative law operates formally and informally\, visibly and invisibly\, publicly and privately\, in cases involving cross-border dispute resolution. The program includes two plenary sessions that are intended to provide an overview of comparative law in international dispute resolution as well as recommendations and forecasts for the future of the field. \nWhile the precise topics are still being discussed\, the first plenary will likely consider\, among other things\, how legal reasoning in international litigation or international arbitration varies (if at all) across the common law-civil law divide; how public or private initiatives (such as the United Nations Case Law on UNCITRAL Texts project) can increase comparative legal research in the area of international dispute resolution; how constitutional norms can affect the use of comparative law in international dispute resolution; or how comparative law can increase the perceived legitimacy of the international dispute resolution process. \nThe second plenary will likely consider\, among other things\, how epistemic communities will affect the development of comparative law in international dispute resolution; how internet and online technology will affect the development of international dispute resolution and the role that comparative law will play in that process; and lessons that the global community can learn from the European Union with respect to comparative law and cross-border dispute resolution. \nThe annual program will also include time slots accommodating concurrent panels. Proposals will be considered on a variety of subjects on comparative law and international dispute resolution\, such as those involving particular procedures\, including judicial procedures\, arbitral procedures and consensual procedures (meaning negotiation\, mediation and conciliation)\, as well as the way that comparative law is used by judges\, legislators\, policymakers and parties in those processes. It is expected that panel members will not only address various questions from a comparative perspective but will also incorporate interdisciplinary and empirical perspectives into their analyses. The concurrent panels may also be on comparative law topics different from the main topic of international dispute resolution and\, as a way to foster multilingualism at the ASCL\, may also be held in languages different from English. \nThe University of Missouri intends to publish six to eight papers from the annual meeting in the Journal of Dispute Resolution\, the scholarly publication of the CSDR. The Journal was established in 1984 and is recognized nationally and internationally as one of the leading journals in the area of alternative dispute resolution. In the past\, the Journal has published articles by internationally renowned authors\, including Justice Frédéric Bachand\, Gary Born\, Judge Jeremy Fogel\, Marc Galanter\, Deborah Hensler\, Carrie Menkel-Meadow\, Judith Resnik and Frank E.A. Sander\, among others. \nGiven the nature of the conference\, the editors of the Journal are willing to consider a variety of formats for published works. Thus\, papers can range from standard single-author pieces to moderator-generated reports or transcripts of panel presentations. Contributors to the Journal need to submit the final versions of the papers by the end of November or beginning of December 2019 so that the articles can be edited and published in the spring 2020 issue of the Journal. \nCost\, Registration\, and Logistical Information\nThere is a $50.00 registration fee associated with the annual meeting\, although the fee is waived for ASCL members and students. However\, all attendees are asked to register by October 1\, 2019. For logistical information on travel\, parking and hotel accommodations\, click here. \nRegister Online \nAbout the American Society of Comparative Law\nThe American Society of Comparative Law\, Inc. (ASCL) is the leading organization in the United States promoting the comparative study of law. Founded in 1951\, it is a thriving organization of more than 100 institutional sponsor members\, both in the United States and abroad\, and a growing number of individual members. The Society publishes The American Journal of Comparative Law\, the outstanding American publication of scholarship on comparative law. The Society also holds annual meetings at which comparative law scholars present research and critically examine important legal issues from a comparative perspective. In addition\, the Society provides support to other scholarly conferences both in the United States and internationally that deal with comparative law. \nAbout the Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution\nThe mission of the Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution (CSDR) is to develop and promote: \n\nAppropriate methods for understanding\, managing and resolving domestic and international conflict.\nThe use of dispute resolution techniques to enhance informed decisionmaking.\n\nIn furtherance of that mission\, the CSDR fosters comprehensive approaches to lawyering and decisionmaking and promotes the appropriate use of alternative processes of dispute resolution through engagement in legal and interdisciplinary scholarship; law school teaching and curriculum initiatives; educational services to legal and dispute resolution professionals; law reform related to dispute resolution; and direct dispute resolution services. \nAbout the Journal of Dispute Resolution\nSelect papers from the annual conference will be published in the Journal of Dispute Resolution. The Journal was established in 1984 and is recognized as the leading legal publication in the area of alternative dispute resolution. The Journal contains articles written by nationally and internationally prominent authors as well as by students on a wide variety of topics in the field of dispute resolution. \nAbout Transnational Dispute Management (TDM)\, OGEMID and Young OGEMID\nTDM is a peer-reviewed online journal dedicated to various aspects of international arbitration\, with a special focus on investment arbitration. Since the first issue was published in 2004\, TDM has gained popularity among a large number of law firms\, academics and other professionals in the field of arbitration. \nOGEMID is part of TDM and is the world’s only high-profile arbitration discussion forum.  OGEMID brings together most of the world’s experienced professionals in the field of international dispute management (arbitration\, mediation and negotiation)\, with a particular emphasis on investment disputes.  Young-OGEMID also focuses on matters involving international dispute resolution\, but is only open to junior practitioners (e.g.\, those who have not been made partner or counsel)\, junior academics (e.g.\, those who have not received tenure) and law students so as to create a forum where young professionals can discuss and debate topics of interest on an equal basis and out of the eyes of more senior lawyers.  Young-OGEMID\, which is currently free for eligible individuals\, has also developed a number of initiatives meant to address the unique needs of listserv members\, including “virtual” symposia and member research forums. \nFor more information about TDM\, OGEMID and Young-OGEMID\, click here: https://www.transnational-dispute-management.com/about-tdm.asp. \nGeneral Information\nDirections and parking information for the University of Missouri School of Law are available at https://law.missouri.edu/about/directions/.\nFor further information\, please contact Mary Tran at 2019ASCL@law.ucla.edu.

SUMMARY:Conference: Status and Justice in Law\, Religion\, and Society\, Washington and Lee University School of Law
DESCRIPTION:A conference on “Status and Justice in Law\, Religion\, and Society” will be held at Washington and Lee University School of Law\, November 1-3\, 2019. It will include lots of interest for legal historians. The organizers are Timothy Lubin and Kemilya Atanasova\, both of Washington and Lee University. Clifford Ando (University of Chicago) and Winnifred Fallers Sullivan (Indiana University) will give keynote lectures on citizenship and the legacy of the Antonine constitution and on religious status under secular law\, respectively. The list of presenters is here. An excerpt from the conference description:  \nThis interdisciplinary conference aims to bring together historians of religious\, ancient\, and medieval law systems from around the world with scholars of modern legal systems\, on the hypothesis that comparative discussion can throw new light on the role of status-considerations in shaping how individuals experience and use the law\, in defining what counts as a fair or just outcome\, and in changes to the legal landscape in times of social change.  It may be that the role of statuses (both legal and societal) in premodern and religious legal orders may hold lessons for understanding the role of statuses in the law of republican polities\, despite their aspiration to ensure equality of individuals before the law. \nFurther information is available here.

SUMMARY:Talk: Professor Marcus Milwright\, "The Shock of the New? Writing and the Propagation of Religious Ideology in early Islam"
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Marcus Milwright\, “The Shock of the New? Writing and the Propagation of Religious Ideology in early Islam”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTue 5 Nov\, 6pm \nG.06\, 50 George Square \nUniversity of Edinburgh \nThe prominent role played by writing in the visual cultures of the Islamic world is\, of course\, well known. Ornamental scripts adorn buildings and objects of all periods from the seventh century to the present. Writing functions in these contexts both as a carrier of meaning and as an object of aesthetic interest in its own right. There can be little doubt that the Muslim community recognized the power and visual potential of the written word from an early stage. The first monumental inscriptions appear in the 640s\, a little more than a decade after the death of the Prophet Muhammad\, and reach a high level of sophistication in the mosaic decoration of the Dome of the Rock in the 690s. The talk reviews this fascinating assemblage of early inscriptions\, concentrating particularly on the inclusion of explicitly religious content. This content ranges from pious phrases to statements of faith and citations from the Qur’an. These inscriptions appear on rock inscriptions\, documents\, coins\, seals\, and architecture. The talk will ask how and why scripture and statements of faith were first incorporated into Islamic monumental inscriptions\, comparing the strategies employed by early Muslims to those of other faith communities of the Late Antique Middle East. The talk will argue that early Muslims were influenced by the practices of each conquered region\, and that this accounts for significant differences in the manner in which inscriptions are used across the Islamic empire between the seventh and the tenth centuries. \nSponsored by History of Art\, Medieval and Renaissance Studies\, and Islamic and Middle East Studies at the University of Edinburgh\, the lecture is free and open to all and will be followed by a reception.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: “Mosques\, power and politics” Workshop (22-24 January 2020 | University of Copenhagen)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Programme\n“Mosques\, power and politics”\nCopenhagen\, Denmark\n22-24 January 2020\nVenue: University of Copenhagen\, South Campus\nKaren Blixens Plads 8\, 2300 Copenhagen\, Denmark\nWorkshop theme: \nFor this workshop we address the changing politics of mosque building\, the different kinds of conflict surrounding the building of a mosque and the symbolic appropriation of territory by the mosque. The building of a mosque can be seen as a social transformative interaction and accounts for the many stakeholders involved in the construction of mosques (e.g.\, Muslim organizations\, international donors\, local politicians\, anti-Islam groups and other critics). As such\, the mosques and the politics of construction can be seen as microcosms of the discourse on Muslims in a country. \nConcerns with security\, extremism and visibility of Muslim institutions in the Nordic and Western European countries are causing “existential” difficulties for mosques. The state criticizes mosques and change the politics of religion with reference to incidents in mosques as in Denmark in 2016-18. This seminar will examine the power strategies used by national and local politicians\, examining national legislation and municipal planning on mosques\, and will investigate a number of concrete cases of contested mosque building. The operable questions are what are the political power dynamics at play in mosque building? Do the mosques challenge the existing models of state-religion-relations? How may mosques present and organize themselves to defuse these tensions of power? \nPaper abstracts of 300 words and a short CV to be submitted to Niels Valdemar Vinding\, lbm993@hum.ku.dk\, on November 15th 2019 at the latest. \nRead more on: https://mosques.ku.dk/nordic-mosques/ \nExpenses \nThe project covers reasonable expenses from transport. Hotel and meals are already booked. Please contact Niels Valdemar Vinding\, lbm993@hum.ku.dk\, if you have expenses. \nWorkshop series \nThis is the second in a series of three workshops on Nordic Mosques in Context – On the institutional embeddedness of Islam in the Nordic countries sponsored by a NOS-HS Workshop Grant. The third seminar is on “Mosques\, communities and finance\,” in Oslo\, Norway\, August 2020. The purpose of the workshops is to investigate the dimensions of institutional embeddedness of Islam in the Nordic countries as mosques seek to be responsive institutions for the needs of Muslims\, challenged by economic\, legal and political alternatives. We are considering mosques as the focal point of Islam in economic\, legal and political terms\, the primary objective of this research project is to study the institutional strategies of mosques and Muslims in embedding Islam in the Nordic wider societies. The key here is to see to what extend mosques are responsive institutions for the needs of Muslim in soliciting the wider public\, or if Muslims go beyond the mosque in the pursuit of other more apt forms of institutionalized religious life such as invoking Islamic economic\, legal and political responses. We argue that the entire future of mosques depends on whether they can give and refine responsive and meaningful answers and make them coherent with the economic\, legal and politics questions that Muslims seek the answers to. As such\, this may result in the secularization of mosques as they negotiate and find their place in society. Will these new or re-interpreted institutional expressions clash with the general public\, will they fail Muslims or will they be viable alternatives for embedding Islam in the Nordic countries? \nA call for the workshop “Mosques\, communities and finance\,” in August 2020\, in Oslo\, Norway\, will be circulated in February\, 2020. \nOn behalf of the conveners \nBrian Arly Jacobsen\, assoc. professor\, Sociology of Religion\, University of Copenhagen\, Denmark Torkel Brekke\, Research Professor\, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO)\, Norway Göran Larsson\, Professor in Religious Studies\, Göteborg University\, Sweden Niels Valdemar Vinding\, post.doc.\, Islamic Studies\, University of Copenhagen\, Denmark We are funded by a NOS-HS Workshop Grant as “Nordic Mosques in Context – On the institutional embeddedness of Islam in the Nordic countries” (Grant No. 2018-00085).
