You are invited to participate in the 3rd annual Legal Philosophy Workshop (LPW). This year&rsquo\;s LPW will be held at Queens University in Kingston\, Ontario\, on June 17 and June 18. \; Chris Essert and Jean Thomas \;will be the local organizers.
\nThe LPW is a conference designed to foster reflection on the nature of law and the philosophical issues underlying its different areas. Our aim is to promote work that connects legal philosophy with other branches of philosophy (e.g.\, moral and political philosophy\, metaphysics\, philosophy of language\, epistemology\, or philosophy of action) and to create a venue for the critical examination of different viewpoints about law.
\nOur aim is to make the LPW into an annual event\, in venues alternating between North America and Europe. \;The inaugural LPW was held last year at the University of Pennsylvania in May 2014\, and the second instalment was held last June at the University of Edinburgh. Information about the LPW can be found on our website: https://sites.google.com/site/legalphilosophyworkshop/home
\nThe format of the workshop is pre-read. We will be discussing 7 papers\, circulated about three weeks in advance. Each session will start with a very short presentation by the author (5-10 minutes). A commentator will then kick-off discussion\, the author will respond to the comments\, and then the remainder of the session will be dedicated to Q&\;A.  \;
\nRegistration is free and open to anyone\, as long as there is adequate space remaining. \;But \;one must register in advance in order to participate. This ensures that we can circulate \;papers in advance and that we have an accurate head count. Papers will be circulated a few weeks prior to the workshop.To register for the 2016 LPW\, please use the following link: \;https://lpw.typeform.com/to/jYXhAo?
