Subject: Call for papers - Obligations II

Dear ODG members,

The following call for papers will be distributed to law school academics over the next couple of weeks. Since the conference theme was inspired by discussions on the ODG I thought it was only fair to give advance notice to ODG members. I apologise for the fact that some of you will get it twice. Feel free to pass it on to anyone you think may be interested.

Best wishes,
Andrew Robertson

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Second Biennial Conference on the Law of Obligations will be held at Melbourne Law School on 15-16 July 2004. The conference will provide a forum for the discussion of current issues and new research in tort, contract, equity, restitution and related statutory obligations.

The theme of the 2004 conference is Principle and Policy in Private Law. Particular attention will be given to issues related to the conference theme, including:

• the relationship between principle and policy in private law;
• the source and setting of private law standards such as good faith, reasonableness and unconscionability;
• the role of legislation in shaping private law obligations; and
• the role of corrective justice, distributive justice and instrumental goals in private law.

Papers on the conference theme or any aspect of contract, tort, equity, restitution or related statutory obligations are invited. Anyone wishing to present a paper should submit a working title and an abstract no longer than 250 words before 28 February 2004 by email to a.robertson@unimelb.edu.au, facsimile + 61 3 9347 2392 or by post to:
