Rose on Property and Literature: the View From Shakespeare's Venice @uarizonalaw @ArsScripta @@ElgarPublishing @Elgar_Law @

Carol M. Rose, University of Arizona College of Law, is publishing Property and Literature: the View From Shakespeare’s Venice in The Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Law and Literature(Robert Spoo & Simon Stern eds., 2024). Here is the abstract.

This entry explores property issues in The Merchant of Venice, and in particular the Merchant’s posture toward important claims that have been made for property since the Enlightenment: that secure property enhances social wealth, that property protects individual autonomy, and that property permits the projection of personal projects in the world. The conclusion is that Merchant critiques each from the perspective of considerably older views of the role of property in society. The entry also discusses another claim for property and commerce that some have found in Merchant—that property and commerce soften manners and promote cooperation--but concludes that Merchant does not address that claim despite its setting in the then highly commercial city of Venice.

The 9th International Osnabrück Summer Institute on the Cultural Study of the Law (OSI) will be held from July 6 to 14, 2024 at Osnabrück University, Germany. It aims to encourage and further promote the interdisciplinary study and research of the interrelations between law and culture, based on the idea that the extended cultural study of the law will foster productive scholarly exchange and dialogue between legal studies and the humanities.

The 2024 OSI will concentrate on key issues and debates within contemporary cultural legal studies, exploring questions related to, for instance, rights in general, legal personhood and citizenship, human rights, and the rights of migrants. We are interested specifically in the following:

• The historical evolution of predominant (legal) concepts of rights, human rights, and legal personhood, regarding current debates on culture as an abiding discourse that enables legal subjectivity and rights claims, as much as it offers a resource for legal critique.
• The cultural presence and portrayal of the law and the influence of culture in depicting and disseminating concepts of rights, human rights, ownership, appropriation, dispossession, etc. (e.g., in fields such as law and literature, critical humanities, life writing and human rights, philosophy of human rights, migration and rights).
• How the (cultural and historical) semantics of rights, human rights, and legal personhood manifest in critical theory and discourse, exploring the application of rights theory in the humanities and critical cultural studies.
• How a precarious legal status or a flexible approach to legal personhood, both historically and in current debates, facilitates critical discussion on (human) rights and our understanding of their nature and scope (how or whether they might be claimed by people on the move, enslaved people, indigenous peoples, stateless people, women, LGBTQ+ individuals etc.).

The OSI brings together leading scholars in the field of cultural legal studies with international graduate students from the humanities, legal studies, the social and political sciences, art, and history to create a rare opportunity for the comparative study of law and culture and their complex interrelation. The Institute will offer a combination of thematic workshop sessions, small group seminars and a concluding conference which will focus on key issues and debates in current cultural legal studies. lt will offer placements for up to 20 international participants (doctoral, post-doctoral and advanced M.A.).

Confirmed faculty for the 2024 OSI include:

Jeannine DeLombard (English and History / UC Santa Barbara)
Leila Neti (English and Postcolonial Literature / Occidental College, LA)
Leti Volpp (Law / UC Berkeley)
Bryan Wagner (English / UC Berkeley)
Marco Wan (Law / U of Hongkong)

Eligibility

The Summer Institute invites doctoral and postdoctoral students from various academic fields whose research interests and projects are situated at the interface between law and the humanities and who are concerned with a better understanding of the interdependence of law and culture.
Doctoral candidates in literature, the law, the arts, the humanities, and the related social sciences are encouraged to apply, as are advanced students pursuing a J.D. or its equivalent (such as the L.L.B). Young scholars or junior faculty members who have received a Ph.D. or corresponding degree in the last five years are also eligible. While applications by doctoral/post-doctoral students are prioritized, the Summer Institute will also consider strong applications from advanced Master students about to conclude their studies and with a strong interest in interdisciplinary research.

Application Process

Students interested in taking part in the Summer Institute should submit their applications no later than April 1st, 2024. Detailed and updated information about the Institute, the sessions, international faculty, admission and fees can be found at:

Webber on Gilead Constitutionalism @GregoireWebber @queensulaw @LSELaw

Grégoire Webber, Queen's University Faculty of Law; London School of Economics, Law School, has published Gilead Constitutionalism as Queen's University Legal Research Paper 2024-001. Here is the abstract.

This essay explores the concept of government by drawing on the liberal tradition of limited government. In that tradition, moral autonomy and independence are situated as the source of limits on government justified on other grounds. An alternative relationship between government and moral autonomy and independence is here examined, one according to which such autonomy and independence lie at the very heart of the justification for government rather than limiting its activity. The task of government is thus conceived as enabling moral autonomy and independence. One consequence of this way of understanding the justification for government is to deny that a government uncommitted to the liberal ideas of autonomy and independence counts as a government. Drawing on the example of Gilead in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, I explore how the claim of the officers of Gilead to be a government fails: in indiscriminately violating moral autonomy and independence, those officers are tyrants, oppressors, dictators, autocrats—but they are no government. This essay, to be included in a collection in celebration of Leslie Green, concludes by exploring how Green’s contributions to our understanding of government and governing were developed in conversation with one whose ideas on many matters were at a great distance from Green’s own. Green’s example of honourable engagement is a reminder of how progress in jurisprudence is facilitated by seeking the truth in charitable collaboration with others.

Ziegler on The History of Neutrality: Dobbs and the Social Movement Politics of History and Tradition @maryrziegler @YaleLJournal

Mary Ziegler, University of California, Davis, School of Law, is publishing The History of Neutrality: Dobbs and the Social Movement Politics of History and Tradition in the Yale Law Journal Forum. Here is the abstract.

By excavating the history around the history-and-tradition test used in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and the alternative it pushes to the side, this Essay reconsiders the meaning—and plausibility—of neutrality claims turning on the Dobbs Court’s use of history and tradition.

Pardo on Rethinking Antebellum Bankruptcy @WashULaw @COLawReview

Rafael I. Pardo, Washington University, St. Louis, School of Law, is publishing Rethinking Antebellum Bankruptcy in volume 95 of the University of Colorado Law Review. Here is the abstract.

Bankruptcy law has been repeatedly reinvented over time in response to changing circumstances. The Bankruptcy Act of 1841—passed by Congress to address the financial ruin caused by the Panic of 1837—constituted a revolutionary break from its immediate predecessor, the Bankruptcy Act of 1800, which was the nation’s first bankruptcy statute. Although Congress repealed the 1841 Act in 1843, the legislation lasted significantly longer than recognized by scholars. The repeal legislation permitted pending bankruptcy cases to be finally resolved pursuant to the Act’s terms. Because debtors flooded the judicially understaffed 1841 Act system with over 46,000 cases, the Act’s administration continued into the 1860s, thereby allowing further development of the law. Importantly, the system operated at a time when the role of the business of slavery in the national economy was increasingly expanding. This Article focuses on two postrepeal episodes involving legal innovation under the Act to demonstrate how an expanded periodization of its duration yields fresh insights into understanding the interaction between federal bankruptcy law and slavery: (1) the judicial constitutional settlement of voluntary bankruptcy relief, part of which occurred through a case involving a bankrupt enslaver; and (2) the practice pursuant to which some federal district courts empowered assignees—the federal court officials appointed to administer property surrendered by bankrupts in 1841 Act cases—to operate a bankrupt’s business before liquidating it, as evidenced by certain cases involving plantation owners who sought relief under the Act.

Pozen on The Common Law of Constitutional Conventions @ColumbiaLaw @CalifLRev

David Pozen, Columbia University Law School, is publishing The Common Law of Constitutional Conventions in the California Law Review. Here is the abstract.

Professor Jill Lepore's Jorde lecture paints a rich portrait of state constitutional conventions as engines of democratization during the 1800s and issues a dire warning about the United States' ongoing amendment drought. Citing their unfamiliarity, however, Lepore declines to consider federal constitutional conventions as a possible corrective. In this response Essay, I argue: first, that Lepore's marginalization of Article V's convention mechanism is in tension with her own historical and normative account; second, that while Lepore's wariness of conventions is entirely understandable given the state of our politics—and entirely commonplace among progressives—it carries significant risks of its own; and third, that constitutional conventions are not as unfamiliar as they might seem and that our long experience with this institution at the state level supplies guidance as to how a federal convention might be made less scary and more legitimate. If we wish to revive the Framers' "philosophy of amendment" and reclaim popular control over fundamental law, we must figure out how to operationalize that philosophy through credible procedures. The common law of constitutional conventions is a vital resource for this task.

Phillips on A Corpus Linguistic Analysis of "Possessions" in American English, 1760-1776 @BYU

James Cleith Phillips, Brigham Young University, is publishing A Corpus Linguistic Analysis of "Possessions" in American English, 1760-1776 in the Chapman Law Review. Here is the abstract.

The U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures of persons, houses, papers, and effects. Yet state constitutions often use different language, thus providing a different scope of protection. Specifically, starting with Pennsylvania in 1776, sixteen states have constitutional provisions that include possessions as protected from unreasonable searches and seizures. And currently there is litigation in various state courts, including the Pennsylvania State Court, over the meaning of this constitutional protection. Possessions potentially implies more than houses, papers, or effects—arguably covering anything one possesses, including private land, which would significantly expand the coverage of such constitutional protection. But traditional tools of constitutional interpretation, such as dictionaries or etymology, often fall short in uncovering the original public meaning of constitutional text. Hence, increasingly courts (including the U.S. Supreme Court) have looked to corpus linguistics to better answer the linguistic questions that judges face in interpreting the words of the law. Understandably, judges use economic tools to tackle economic questions and historical tools to answer historical questions. Should they not use linguistic tools for linguistic questions? “[W]ords are . . . the material of which laws are made. Everything depends on our understanding of them.” We can and should use the right tools for seeking this understanding. This article will proceed in four parts. Part I introduces the question at issue in the context of the first state constitution to include the term: the Pennsylvania Constitution. It does so, at least in part, because other state constitutions arguably copied the Pennsylvania Constitution, and thus the meaning of the that constitution likely sheds light on the state constitutions that followed it. Part II highlights shortcomings of the traditional tools usually employed in constitutional interpretation. Part III explains how the tools of corpus linguistics can address these shortcomings. And Part IV presents a corpus linguistic analysis of the term possessions. This approach, more rigorous than that usually undertaken, provides data on the linguistic question that undergirds the legal issue—which reading of these state constitutions is more probable than the other. After all, a “problem in [legal interpretation] can seriously bother courts only when there is a contest between probabilities of meaning.” Corpus linguistics can help with that contest. And this article finds that founding-era Americans sometimes used the word possessions to include land one owned, and sometimes not. In the context of the lemma land, a majority of the time the word possessions appeared to include land as property. More significantly, when looking more broadly at any instance of the term possessions, whether or not the lemma land was used nearby, early Americans used the term to include land approximately 86% of the time. This is evidence, then, that the Pennsylvania Constitution, and likely other state constitutions, were originally understood to protect against unreasonable searches of one’s land—thus providing broader protection than the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment.

Call For Papers, Brazilian Journal of International Law @franca_marcilio

From Professor Marcilio Franca, a call for papers for a special issue of the Brazilian Journal of International Law:

BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW Call for Papers Vol. 21 n. 2 2024   Deadline for submissions: 1st June 2024   SPECIAL ISSUE   The Brazilian Journal of International Law, a SCOPUS-indexed review, invites submissions for a special issue on “International Food Law” to be published in October 2024. The issue will be edited by Professors Marcílio Toscano Franca Filho (Federal University of Paraíba) and Ardyllis Alves Soares (University Centre of Brasilia).   The relationships between food, flavor, taste, palate and law are as old as they are broad. For many centuries, legal norms have been responsible for regulating our ways of eating, drinking, producing food and consuming it, including rules on health protection, labelling, geographical demarcations, authenticity, international trade, food safety, human rights to food, religion (kosher and halal foods) and gastronomic cultural heritage. Private international law, in turn, in addition to many types of contracts on the production, consumption and transport of food, also deals with the “duty of food”. In Europe and the United States, an autonomous branch of Law called Food Law has long been well established, a transdisciplinary field located somewhere between Economic Law, Administrative Law, International Law and Consumer Law. It is also important to mention international organizations related to specific products, such as the “Association Internationale des Juristes pour le Droit de la Vigne et du Vin” (AIDV), founded in 1985 to analyze legal issues relating to the international wine trade. All these circumstances denote the current nature of the debate on Law & Food and legitimize the production of a Dossier on "Food and International Law", in the Brazilian Journal of International Law, which could host texts by Brazilian and foreign colleagues on the following topics:   - Human Right to Food - Food safety - Labeling, risks, precautions and traceability - New Foods (insects, flowers, GMOs, etc.) and international regulation - Intellectual property and food - ESG and international food trade - International regulation of certain foods in kind such as sugar, coffee, wine, spirits and cheese - International protection of food consumers - SDGs and food - Climate change and food - The protection of animals - Sanitary and phytosanitary measures - International organizations with influence on the agri-food sector: FAO, UNESCO, WHO, Codex Alimentarius, World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).   Formal aspects (requirements): 1) Manuscripts should be written in Times New Roman, size 12, space between lines 1,0 throughout the manuscript (including all quotations, endnotes and references). 2) Minimum degree: * Individual authorship: Doctor; * Co-authorship: Master, being in co-authorship with a Doctor. If there are three or more authors, only one co-author must be a non-doctor with the aforementioned minimum degree (Master). 3) Footnote citation (author-date will be rejected without review); 4) Do not use Latin expressions on footnotes (id., ibid., op. cit, supra, note…). Repeat the whole reference and the referred pages. 5) Reference list at the end; 6) 15-25 pages, including the reference list at the end.

National or majorly national approaches won't be considered.     REVISTA DE DIREITO INTERNACIONAL Chamada para submissão Vol. 21 n. 2 2024   Prazo para inscrições: 1º de junho de 2024   Dossiê Especial A Revista de Direito Internacional abre inscrições para um dossiê especial sobre “Direito Alimentar Internacional” a ser publicado em outubro de 2024. O número será editado pelos professores Marcílio Toscano Franca Filho (Universidade Federal da Paraíba) e Ardyllis Alves Soares (Centro Universitário de Brasília).   As relações entre alimento, sabor, gosto, paladar e direito são tão antigos quanto amplas. Há muitos séculos que as normas jurídicas cuidam de regular as nossas formas de comer, beber, produzir alimentos e consumi-los, nisso incluindo as regras sobre a proteção à saúde, rotulagem, demarcações geográficas, autenticidade, comércio internacional, segurança alimentar, direito humano à alimentação, religião (comidas kosher e halal) e patrimônio cultural gastronômico. O direito internacional privado, por seu turno, além de muitos tipos de contratos sobre a produção, o consumo e o transporte de alimentos, trata ainda do “dever de alimentos”. Na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, há tempos também já está bem estabelecido um ramo autônomo do Direito denominado Food Law (Direito da Alimentação), campo transdisciplinar localizado algures entre o Direito Econômico, o Direito Administrativo, o Direito Internacional e o Direito do Consumidor. Também importante mencionar organizações internacionais relacionadas a produtos específicos, como a “Association Internationale des Juristes pour le Droit de la Vigne et du Vin” (AIDV), fundada em 1985 com o objetivo de analisar as questões jurídicas relativas ao comércio internacional do vinho. Todas essas circunstâncias denotam a atualidade do debate sobre Direito & Alimentação e legitimam a produção de Dossiê sobre "Comida e Direito Internacional", na Revista de Direito Internacional, que poderia albergar textos de colegas brasileiros e estrangeiros sobre os seguintes temas:   - Direito Humano à Alimentação - Segurança alimentar - Rotulagem, riscos, precaução e rastreabilidade - Novos Alimentos (insetos, flores, OGM etc.) e regulação internacional - Propriedade Intelectual e alimentação - ESG e comércio internacional de alimentos - Regulação internacional de determinados alimentos em espécie como açúcar, café, vinho, destilados e queijo - Proteção internacional dos consumidores de alimentos - ODS e alimentação - Mudanças climáticas e alimentos - A proteção dos animais - Medidas sanitárias e fitossanitárias - As organizações internacionais com influência no setor agro-alimentar: FAO, UNESCO, OMS, Codex Alimentarius, World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).   Aspectos formais (requisitos): 1) Os manuscritos deverão ser escritos em Times New Roman, tamanho 12, espaço entre linhas 1,0 em todo o manuscrito (incluindo todas as citações, notas finais e referências). 2)Titulação mínima: * Autoria individual: Doutor; * Coautoria: Mestre, estando em coautoria com um Doutor. Havendo três ou mais autores, apenas um co-autor deverá ser não-doutor com a titulação mínima acima mencionada (Mestre). 3) Citação em nota de rodapé (texto com citação autor-data serão rejeitados sem avaliação); 4) Não use expressões latinas em notas de rodapé (id., ibid., op. cit, supra, nota…). Repita as informações da referência e as páginas referidas. 5) Lista de referências no final; 6) 15-25 páginas, incluindo lista de referências no final. Link: https://www.publicacoesacademicas.uniceub.br/rdi Importantes considerações: - Somente abordagens de Direito Internacional e de Direito Comparado serão consideradas. Abordagens exclusivamente ou majoritariamente nacionais não serão consideradas.

Emerging Normativities: Hybrid Public Lecture Series on Law, Governance, and Digital Technologies, University of Westminster Law School

From Daniela Gandorfer, Legal Scholar//Co-Director of LoPh//Founder of Code-X-Diagrams//Blockchain Gov Consultant Westminster University School of Law

I am writing to invite you to 'Emerging Normativities,’ a hybrid Public Lecture Series on Law, Governance, and Digital Technologies, at University of Westminster L:aw School and in collaboration with LoPH+.

 

In a nutshell, we ask: What happens at the new governmental frontier and who is drafting the social digital contract?

 

THE SERIES As climate change is shifting the material and social conditions of existence on planet Earth, skepticism towards representative governmental structures and a desire for alternative economic models rise. This transformative shift unfolds amidst the ascendancy of authoritarian regimes and a surge in global conflicts. Concurrently, cutting-edge technologies like distributed ledgers, IoT, robotics, AI, and mixed reality are dismantling traditional political and legal paradigms. This series dissect this intricate interplay shaping a novel governance frontier, both online and offline, often overlooked in mainstream discourse. It focuses on emerging tech-driven governance models - whether public or private, centralized or decentralized- driving fundamental shifts in legal and political theories through jurisdictional design, legal experimentation, and tech-democratization.

 

FIRST SESSION: FEB 8th Our first session, “Ground-Level Narratives: Digital Democracy (Taiwan) and Web3-City Prototyping (Zanzibar)," will take place on THU, Feb 8th, 2024, 2pm-4pm GMT, UG04 University of Westminster (Regent Street Campus)

 

DETAILS: You find the Zoom link on the poster. More information and posters also here. 

 

PLEA I would be grateful if you could share the invite with your network, friends, and colleagues, siblings, political opponents, unbearable neighbor, beloved critics, and tech-enthusiasts, perhaps your your digital pets.

 

Best wishes, Daniela

Waller on Antitrust and Pop Culture: The Sequel @LoyolaLaw

Spencer Weber Waller, Loyola University Chicago School of Law, has published Antitrust and Pop Culture: The Sequel at 37 Antitrust 53 (Summer 2023). Here is the abstract.

Every pop culture success receives the inevitable sequel. In spring 2022, I published A Pop Culture Guide to Antitrust showing how antitrust is depicted in the movies, on stage, in pop music, fiction, true crime, and on television and streaming services. Since 2022, the connection between antitrust and pop culture has only grown in importance. Note: Copyright 2023 American Bar Association. Reproduced by permission. All rights reserved.
