Dear colleagues,
From 16 to 20 September 2024, the 44th Legal Historians' Conference will take place in Frankfurt am Main, organised by the Institute for Legal History at Goethe University. Under the guiding theme of "The Language of Sources", speakers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as many other countries will discuss which sources they use to write legal histories and how they determine, read and process these sources. The digital humanities, but also questions about the sources of a global history of law, of maritime, ecclesiastical or criminal history, as well as law as a body of knowledge in antiquity will play an important role. We would also like to look at media change and the publication culture in our discipline. The preliminary conference programme and information on the accompanying programme can be found on our website.
A particular concern of the 44th Legal Historians' Conference is to make research projects by young academics and larger research projects on source editions and databases visible. We have therefore given presentations of projects their own prominent place in the conference programme. We invite all interested parties to find out more about the presentation options on the following website and in the attached document. As far as proposals from doctoral students are concerned, these will be selected by the organisers together with the "Young Legal History Network", which was constituted in 2023. The best three presentations by doctoral students will be honoured with a prize.
Registrations for participation in the Legal Historians' Day are now open. Early registrants can take advantage of an "early bird discount". Further information on registration and accommodation can be found on our website.
We look forward to seeing you!
Your
Albrecht Cordes, Thomas Duve, David von Mayenburg, Guido Pfeifer
