Call
For Papers
On
June 5 and 6, 2014, the Law and Humanities Institute, New York, New York (USA)
and Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego, CA (USA) will sponsor a Conference
on Law and Magic.
Law
and magic interact in many ways. Not only can the law influence the practice of
magic, such as in the areas of freedom of speech and religion and intellectual
property; but also magic can influence the law, such as in trial tactics and evidence.
In addition, magic illuminates the crossroads of other law and humanities
fields, such as the emerging area of law and neuroscience, rhetoric, and law
and popular culture. Papers discussing or developing these or any aspect of the
relationship between law and magic are welcome, especially those that further
an understanding of the theory, underpinnings, and/or philosophy of the
field.
Materials and presentations will be in English. The organizers
of the conference are Christine Corcos, Louisiana State University Law Center (christine.corcos@law.lsu.edu)
and Julie Cromer Young, Thomas Jefferson School of Law (jcromer@tjsl.edu).
We invite you to submit an abstract of a 20-minute paper
that you would like to deliver at the conference. Abstracts should be between
250 and 500 words and sent to Christine Corcos at the email address above
accompanied by the author’s brief biographical statement. Please put “Law and
Magic Conference June 2014” in the email subject line and submit the abstract
and biographical statement no later than January 6, 2014. We will send notifications regarding
acceptance of presentations by February 1, 2014.
If you would like us to consider your paper for
publication, please indicate that in the
body of your email. Conference papers
accepted for publication will appear in the Spring 2015 issue of the Thomas Jefferson Law Review.
Please address questions to Christine Corcos at the email address
above.
