The
journal Comparative Legal History is
an official academic forum of the European Society for Comparative Legal
History. It was first published in 2013 and aims to offer a space for the
development of comparative legal history. Based in Europe, it welcomes
contributions that explore law in different times and jurisdictions from across
the globe. Submissions are currently welcome and are being assessed on a
rolling basis.
The
journal will host a one-hour public session to discuss the contemporary rise in
interest in comparative constitutional history. Editors (past and present) will
present exploratory points and all attendees will be invited to join in a
general discussion.
The last few years have seen an explosion of
publications on comparative constitutional history, often with a global reach
and covering long time spans. What explains this rise in interest in such an
approach to constitutional law? What does it signify for the fields of
constitutional history and comparative legal history? Is this scholarly
development related to contemporary constitutional crises and debates and their
global scale? How is this wave of scholarship related to other fields of
comparative legal history, and in what ways does it differ from them? Does the
field display any shortcomings or blind spots that should be addressed? These
and other questions will be explored during this public session.
The
event is free and open to the public, and it will take place via Zoom.
Registration
