The European Society for Comparative Legal History (ESCLH) is pleased to announce its Fourth Postgraduate Conference. The conference will be held online on 5 and 6 May 2023. The ESCLH wants to overcome the narrow nationalism and geographical segregation of legal history in contemporary European scholarship and professional organisations. The society, thus, aims to promote comparative legal history, the explicit comparison of legal ideas and institutions in two or more legal traditions. The Postgraduate Conferences of the ESCLH give advanced PhD students and post-doctoral-researchers who work in the fi eld of comparative legal history the opportunity to present their research to a panel of experts. Furthermore, the conference will give all participants the opportunity to build academic networks. 

This conference is organized by Aniceto Masferrer on behalf of the European Society for Comparative Legal History (ESCLH), with the support of the The Alan Watson Group: The Making of the Western Law, the Institute for Social, Political and Legal Studies, and the research project entitled “Tradición e influencias extranjeras en la Codificación penal española: contribución de la jurisprudencia en la evolución de la Parte Especial (1870-1995)” (PID2019-105871GB-I00) (funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation)
