The
Tel Aviv University Buchmann Faculty of Law is pleased to invite submissions to
its 5th annual workshop for junior scholars in law. The workshop
provides junior scholars with the opportunity to present and discuss their
work, receive meaningful feedback from faculty members and peers and aims to
invigorate the scholars’ active participation in the community of international
junior scholars in law.
The interface between law and
boundaries is subject to ongoing debate amongst legal scholars. On one hand, the
law may be perceived as setting a legal boundary in social life, for instance
between normative and criminal behavior; On the other hand, the law may be
perceived as an instrument used by different power groups in order to change,
preserve or re-affirm the social order. The workshop seeks to offer a scholarly
debate on law and boundaries, from various perspectives.
Relevant papers may discuss a variety
of legal fields such as private law, criminal law, corporate & finance law,
environmental law, international & human rights law, family law, IP, law &
technology, etc., as well as theoretical and jurisprudential issues.
For example, papers could discuss:
· Doctrinal boundaries - How law creates,
preserves or undermines boundaries between traditional categories such as
private and public, state and market, individual and society, etc.; how law
restructures boundaries between such categories in response to accelerated
technological progress or economic crisis (e.g., revisiting contemporary IP
law, Antitrust law, etc.).
·
Theoretical boundaries - How specific rules or legal concepts
provide an ethical border between right or wrong, and what is their impact on
society? how boundaries, real or imagined, serve as
gatekeepers of social order; how interdisciplinary research methodologies contribute to
legal scholarship.
·
Physical boundaries - How law shapes the role of borders,
who and what can cross them, under what terms, and at what cost (e.g.,
regulation of immigration, human trafficking); how does law respond to the
powers and vulnerabilities created by traversing physical borders, what
protections does it offer, if at all, and to whom; The interaction between the
nation state and boundaries.
·
Social boundaries - How law regulates boundaries between different
groups of individuals as well as between individual rights and group rights,
and how permeable the boundaries are in a multicultural nation state (e.g.,
championing group rights in order to preserve the group as such, and the
possible advantages and/or disadvantages this might have for the individual); how
law is affected by historical development, for example in the construction of a
new legal order or institution or in changing functions of current ones.
·
Economic boundaries - How economic insights might (or
should) affect the law; the relations between law and economic distribution and
redistribution; how the law is affected by blurring boundaries between
philanthropy, state and market (e.g., through the impact investing practices or
the re-setting of legal boundaries for philanthropy within a liberal and just
democracy; corporate social responsibility).
We welcome
junior scholars (doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researches and recent
graduates of doctoral programs) from universities and research institutions
