Australasian Society of Legal Philosophy Annual Conference 2025

The next annual conference of the Australasian Society of Legal Philosophy (ASLP) will take place at the University of Melbourne on Thursday 17 July 2025 and Friday 18 July 2025 (with an informal workshop for PhD candidates on Wednesday 16 July 2025). Keynotes will be delivered by Grant Lamond (University of Oxford) and Margaret Davies (Flinders University). The subject of the book symposium will be Liberalism as a Way of Life by Alexandre Lefebvre (University of Sydney).

The aim of the ASLP Conference is to provide a forum for the discussion and debate of a range of issues in legal theory, broadly defined. It is by no means restricted to analytic legal philosophy, and the involvement of participants from other disciplines is strongly encouraged. Philosophical or theoretically oriented papers from any field of legal inquiry are welcomed. Also welcomed are papers on teaching jurisprudence.

A small workshop for PhD candidates will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 16 July 2025. The workshop provides PhD candidates with the opportunity to receive feedback on work in progress on any topic in legal theory in a supportive and collaborative environment.
