CfA - Symposium on Islamic and Jewish Law in the Modern Economy
Via EAJS - The Islamic and Jewish Legal Scholars Symposium invites papers for a Symposium on Islamic and Jewish Law in the Modern Economy at the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law in May 5 - 6, 2025.
The symposium will explore the integration of pre-modern religious law and norms into the modern financial economy. We anticipate that papers will explore the tools used by religious traditions to construct their own commercial law in ways that both align with and diverge from modern state law. Comparative inquiries between Islamic and Jewish law are encouraged, although comparisons to other legal traditions and/or works related to one religious legal tradition are welcome.
Papers are welcome from a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to legal studies, including law, sociology, anthropology, politics, and history, from scholars based in law schools and other academic departments.
Deadline: January 31, 2025 | DETAILS
