Last Call for Abstracts: Journal of Private International Law Conference 2009

October 31 is the last day to submit abstracts for the Journal of Private International Law Conference to be held at New York University on 17-18 April 2009. A limited number of paper-presenters will be selected on the basis of abstracts of 500 words.

They will be selecting papers and presenters related to these three topics:

1. International Commercial Law
2. US and European Conflicts Methodologies: Is It Time for a U.S. Restatement?
3. Transnational Litigation and Arbitration

The morning of April 17th will be devoted to presentations of papers by legal scholars at an early stage in their academic or professional careers. They particularly encourage doctoral students, students completing fellowships, and those who have relatively recently completed their doctoral studies to offer abstracts on any aspect of private international law. They are contemplating smaller parallel sessions in order to offer opportunity for presentations by a large number of such scholars.

On April 16, 2009, a day-long conference in tribute to the work of Professor Andreas Lowenfeld of New York University is open to conference attendees.
