CONFERENCE: Updated programme of the 5th Biennial ESCLH Conference (Paris: Ecole Normale Supérieure/Cité internationale universitaire de Paris, 28-30 JUN 2018)







ESCLH 5th Biennial Conference, Paris, 28-30 June, 2018

Laws Across Codes and Laws Decoded

Ecole normale supérieure  - Institut Universitaire de France


Welcome to the ESCLH 5th Biennial Conference

The 5th Biennial Conference of the European Society for Comparative Legal History is devoted to Laws Across Codes and Laws Decoded. In the country of the Napoleonic Codes it is not the matter to eulogize codification, but to propose plural analysis in legal history about the processes of codifying laws and the choices not to codify or to decode laws. Beginning with the presentation of PhD projects about this theme and an inaugural afternoon (with key notes by Catharin MacMillan and Pedro Barbas Homem) three series of panels will deal with Middle Ages, Early Modern Times, Modern Times, 19th and 20th centuries, civil law, penal law, commercial law, public law, international law, Asia, America, Overseas, Legal professions.
The Ecole normale supérieure (ENS) and its small legal team directed by Jean-Louis Halpérin (senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France) is happy to welcome this event. Founded in 1794 the ENS has for mission to educate future teachers, professors and researchers in natural sciences, humanities and social sciences. Among the ENS well known alumni were Taine, Bergson, Durkheim, Jaurès, Péguy, Giraudoux, Bloch, Aron, Sartre, Foucault, Derrida, 13 Nobel Prizes and 11 Fields Medals. The Conference will be supported by the International City Campus of Paris (Cité internationale universitaire de Paris), which offers kindly its hospitality in two venues in front of the ENS Campus Jourdan. Thank you for participating in this Conference and following the detailed schedule. Enjoy your staying in Paris!

La cinquième conférence biennale de l’European Society for Comparative Legal History est consacrée aux lois codifiées et décodées. Dans le pays de Codes Napoléoniens, il ne s’agit pas de faire le panégyrique de la codification, mais de proposer des analyses plurielles des différentes procédures de codification et des choix de ne pas codifier ou de « décodifier ».  Débutant avec la présentation des projets de doctorat sur ce thème, puis une séance inaugurale la première après-midi (avec les keynotes de Catharin MacMillan et de Pedro Barbas Homem), la conférence s’articulera en trois sessions parallèles sur le Moyen Âge, les Temps modernes, l’époque contemporaine, le droit civil, pénal, commercial, international, l’Asie, l’Amérique, l’Outre-mer, les professions juridiques. 
L’Ecole normale supérieure (ENS) et sa petite équipe de droit dirigée par Jean-Louis Halpérin (membre senior de l’Institut Universitaire de France) est heureuse d’accueillir cet événement. Fondée en 1794, l’ENS a pour mission de former de futurs enseignants, professeurs et chercheurs. Parmi ses anciens élèves, on compte Taine, Bergson, Durkheim, Jaurès, Péguy, Giraudoux, Bloch, Aron, Sartre, Foucault, Derrida, 13 Prix Nobel and 11 Médailles Fields. La Conférence reçoit l’aide généreuse de la Cité internationale universitaire de Paris qui met à sa disposition deux de ses salles prestigieuses en face du campus Jourdan de l’ENS. Merci pour votre participation à cette Conférence, pour respecter les horaires : excellent séjour à Paris !
