0 NOTICE: Law and the French Atlantic Symposium (5 October 2012)

Symposium
on Comparative Early Modern Legal History:

Law
and the French Atlantic

Date:
Friday, October 5, 2012

Location:
Newberry Library, Chicago

Organized
by: Allan Greer (McGill University)

and Richard J. Ross (University of Illinois

at Urbana-Champaign)

The French Atlantic has not yet received the
sustained attention given to the British and Spanish Atlantic, particularly
where the topic of law is concerned. This conference will explore the legal
dimension (broadly conceived) of the French Atlantic empire in the early modern
period. The variegated and rapidly evolving juridical order of ancien régime France was
deeply implicated in the expansion of overseas commerce, the founding of
colonies, and the creation of imperial administrations.

Participants may explore topics such as: legal discourse and imperial
ideologies; the establishment of colonial jurisdictions in Canada, Louisiana,
and the French West Indies; the regulation of slavery; indigenous peoples and
the law; the emergence of colonial land tenures; and the legal framework for
trade and business enterprise. The organizers wish particularly to encourage
comparative approaches that consider more than one French colony and that
examine contrasts and convergences with the British, Spanish and Portuguese
empires. In according due attention to the distinctive features of French law
and the French New World empire, we hope to enrich understandings of Atlantic
history generally.

Allan Greer (McGill
History) and Richard Ross (Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign Law and History) organized “Law and the French Atlantic.”  The conference is an offering of the
Symposium on Comparative Early Modern Legal History, which gathers yearly under
the auspices of the Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library in Chicago in order to
explore a particular topic in the comparative legal history of the Atlantic
world in the period c.1492-1815.  Funding
has been provided by the University of Illinois College of Law. 

            Attendance
at the Symposium is free and open to the public.  Participants and attendees should preregister
by contacting the Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library at 312.255.3514,
or send an e-mail to renaissance@newberry.org.
Papers will be precirculated electronically to all registrants.

0 REMINDER: ARTICLES SOUGHT FOR COMPARATIVE LEGAL HISTORY (the ESCLH Journal)

The European Society for Comparative Legal
History (ESCLH) has agreed with Hart Publishing (UK) to produce a new journal. Comparative Legal
History (CLH), an international and comparative review of law
and history, will be the official journal of the ESCLH. 

The journal will be published, both online and in print, twice a year, appearing in the spring and
the autumn. The first
issue will appear in Spring 2013:

Articles will explore
both 'internal' legal history (doctrinal and disciplinary developments in the
law) and 'external' legal history (legal ideas and institutions in wider
contexts). Rooted in the complexity of the various Western legal traditions
worldwide, the journal will also investigate other laws and customs from around
the globe. Comparisons may be either temporal or geographical and both legal
and other law-like normative traditions will be considered. Scholarship on
comparative and trans-national historiography, including trans-disciplinary
approaches, is particularly welcome.

The Editors welcome
scholarly submissions in the English language:

To submit an article
please contact Articles Editor Heikki
Pihlajamäki (heikki.pihlajamaki@helsinki.fi).
The optimal length for articles is between 7500 to 15000 words, including
footnotes. All articles are submitted to double blind peer review.

To propose a review,
please contact Reviews Editor Agustin Parise (agustin.parise@maastrichtuniversity.nl).
Book reviews will generally range from 1500 to 2500 words. Review articles will
also be considered.

The Hart website also has information on the Editors (both the Editorial Staff and International Editorial Board), an Email alert service of the 'Table of Contents', and subscription information. 

Note that a special arrangement between
the ESCLH and Hart has been made to ensure that, beginning next year, ESCLH
membership fees will include a subscription to CLH.

Potential
contributors should pay special attention to the ‘Notes for Contributors’ on
the website. In particular, contributors whose first language is not English
are strongly advised to have their papers edited by native Anglophone
scholars in advance of their
submission to ensure a clear presentation of their ideas and an accurate
appraisal of their work.



Finally, note that CLH isn't likely to include short articles in its first few issues. 

Spread the word.
