Following an initial workshop in November 2023, the participants will reconvene at this second workshop to develop our draft papers into full articles for a special issue.
Thursday morning, we will focus on the introduction for the special issue, starting with comments from invited discussants Lise Rye (NTNU) and Christoffer C. Eriksen (University of Oslo), and an open discussion. This part of the program will address broader questions of interdisciplinary studies of the history of European law and will be interesting for a broader audience.
The rest of the program both Thursday and Friday will consist of text-close discussions of the seven papers prepared for submission as a special journal issue, and participants will be expected to have read the draft articles in advance. The drafts, along with the draft introduction, will be circulated in advance. Please register your participation to receive the drafts.
The workshop is organised by the research project Beyond European Legal Integration, and is financed by EURNOR - Research Centre on the European Dimension of Norwegian Law and the Research Group for Law, Society and Historical Change//Faculty of Law, University of Oslo.
