Dear all,

 

SLS Restitution Section: Call for Papers for 2014 Society of Legal Scholars Annual Conference at University of Nottingham

I am writing to remind you of my earlier call for papers for the Restitution section of the 2014 SLS Annual Conference to be held at the University of Nottingham from 9th- 12th September.  The overall theme of the conference this year will be 'Judging in the 21st Century'. We will meet in the second half of the conference on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th September.  If you are interested in presenting a paper, please e-mail a proposed title and short abstract to me at Duncan.sheehan@uea.ac.uk by 24^th March. This will enable me to put together the provisional programme by the deadline of the 27^th. I would welcome proposals for papers on any issue relating to restitution and unjust enrichment whether specifically connected to the theme of the conference or not.

 
As the SLS is keen to ensure that as many members with good quality papers as possible are able to present, it has been decided to discourage speakers from presenting more than one paper at the conference.  With this in mind, I would be grateful if you could let me know if you are also responding to calls for papers from other sections. If you feel the paper you propose to present in the restitution section may be of interest to another section in the second half of the conference, please do let me know this as well as it may be possible to arrange a joint session. You can see which sections are in which half of the conference on the SLS website (http://sections.legalscholars.ac.uk/index.cfm). As last year there will also be the opportunity to present a research poster at the conference. Further details will be circulated separately in due course.

 

Please note that in proposing a full paper you need only send a proposed title and abstract at this stage, but speakers are encouraged to submit a full paper to the SLS paperbank before the conference. The SLS offers a Best Paper Prize which can be awarded to academics at any stage of their career. The Prize carries a £250 monetary award and winning papers are published in Legal Studies. Further details about the Prize are available at http://sections.legalscholars.ac.uk/best-paper-prize.cfm, though please note that to be eligible all authors must be fully paid-up members of the SLS and the paper must not have been published previously or have been accepted or be under consideration for publication and exceed 10,000 words.

 

I have also been asked to remind you that all speakers, delegates and convenors (me as well then) will need to book and pay to attend the conference. Booking information will be circulated in due course. You may be aware that there have been some hiccups with the issue of calls for papers by the Society itself; if you are a member, I apologise for that, but look forward to receiving your proposals.

Duncan
