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

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 !
