DESCRIPTION:<p>The 10th MetaLawEcon workshop will focus on recent developments in theoretical work on private law.</p>\n<p>Where does the debate about the role of economics and philosophy in private law scholarship stand now and where should it go?&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>More specific issues to discuss include the following:</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; What do\, and should\, private law theories try to achieve? What are the epistemic and normative virtues private law scholarship should aspire to?</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; What are the <em>explananda</em> of private law theory: case outcomes\, judicial behaviour\, legal reasoning\, doctrines\, structures\, institutions\, ideological constructs?</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; In what respects are economic theories superior to philosophical accounts or vice versa? Is it possible\, and desirable to combine or integrate these rival theories\, &ldquo\;vertically&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;horizontally&rdquo\;?</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; What is private law <em>for</em>? Does doctrinal legal scholarship provide credible alternative accounts of (areas of) private law that are neither &ldquo\;economic&rdquo\; nor &ldquo\;philosophical&rdquo\;?</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; What is the optimal level of generality in private law theory? Given the cultural diversity and temporal variation in law\, how should scholarship go beyond a particular jurisdiction at a particular moment in time? Can philosophy reveal commonalities behind doctrinal diversity? Can economics?</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; What is <em>private</em> about private law? In what sense are publicly enforceable interpersonal obligations private? If private law <em>qua</em> <em>law</em> is public\, hence political\, is there any room for recognising a distinctly <em>private</em> law at all?</p>\n<p>These and related questions shall be discussed at an interdisciplinary workshop at the Bucerius Law School in Hamburg\, 5-6 July 2019.</p>\n<p>Papers on the questions above are especially welcome but submissions on any aspect of the general theme will be considered. Contributions from all relevant disciplines\, using all methodologies are welcome.</p>\n<p>There will be no participation fee charged for the workshop. Participants should make their own travel and accommodation arrangements.</p>\n<p>If you want to present a paper\, please submit an abstract of about 500 words for consideration to <strong><em>metalawecon@gmail.com</em></strong> by Friday\, <strong>15 March</strong> 2019. </p>\n<p>Selection of papers\, as well as assigned discussants\, will be determined by the convenors. The planned notification date is <strong>30 March</strong>. If your paper is selected you will be asked to provide a full draft no later than <strong>20 June</strong> to be circulated in advance among participants.&nbsp\;A limited number of non-presenting participants will be accepted.</p>\n
