Moral Values and Private Law: A Conference
The River Room, King’s College London
Thursday 16 (9 - 18.30) and Friday 17 (9 - 16.30) June 2011

The School of Law is pleased to announce its exciting forthcoming
conference of June 16 and June 17, 2011: Moral Values and Private
Law. Over five sessions, spanning contract, property, restitution, tort,
and equity generally, the conference seeks to question what moral
philosophy can, does or must contribute to the understanding and
development of private law.

The following speakers are confirmed:
William Crouch (Oxford) Hanoch Dagan (Tel Aviv)
John Gardner (Oxford) David Ibbetson (Cambridge)
Nils Jansen (Münster) Dori Kimel (Oxford) Dennis Klimchuk (UWO)
William Lucy (Manchester) Nick McBride (Cam) James Penner (UCL)
Irit Samet (KCL) Lionel Smith (McGill) Sandy Steel (KCL)
Gary Watt (Warwick) Charlie Webb (LSE) Sarah Worthington (LSE)

The papers will range in subject matter from the historical influence of
moral
philosophy upon legal development to the use of moral philosophy to theorise
particular areas of the law to the direct application of moral-philosophical
arguments to particular doctrinal problems.

The conference is being organised by Dr Irit Samet and Sandy Steel
(King’s College London). If you would like to attend, please email
sandy.steel@kcl.ac.uk. Please note that there are limited spaces. There
will be a registration fee of £30 to cover the cost of lunch and
refreshments on both days.
