Sixth Postgraduate Conference in Comparative Legal History :
“The Making of Law : Perspectives and Methods of Comparative Legal History”
3–5 May 2026, Valencia University, Spain
Call for Papers
The European Society for Comparative Legal History (ESCLH) is pleased to announce its Sixth Postgraduate Conference. The ESCLH invites PhD-students and post-doctoral researchers who work in the field of comparative legal history to participate in the conference. The conference will be held from 3 to 5 May 2026 at Valencia University, Spain.
The ESCHL wants to overcome the narrow nationalism and geographical segregation of legal history in contemporary European scholarship and professional organisations. The society, thus, aims to promote comparative legal history, the explicit comparison of legal ideas and institutions in two or more legal traditions. The conference will somehow focus on the making of laws, exploring their crea-tion and application by judges.
The Sixth Postgraduate Conference of the ESCLH will give PhD-students and post-doctoral re-searchers the opportunity to present their research in the field of comparative legal history to a panel of six leading experts. Furthermore, the conference will give all participants the opportunity to build academic networks. The experts on the panel cover a broad range of subjects : Alessia Maria Di Ste-fano (Catania), Janwillem (Pim) Oosterhuis (Maastricht), Matt Dyson (Oxford), Norbert Varga (Sze-ged).
The ESCLH invites doctoral candidates and post-doctoral researchers to submit abstracts of their planned presentation. Please submit one document, as a PDF or Word file with an abstract and a CV, of no more than 5 pages. The abstract should be of no more than 300 words. It should give the title of the research project, the field of research, and personal information (full name, email address, affiliat-ed university). The application should be sent to :
aniceto.masferrer chez uv.es
The conference language is English and abstracts must be submitted in English. The closing date for receipt of abstracts is 28 February 2026. Up to twelve applicants will be selected and invited to par-ticipate in the conference. Successful applicants will be informed by 20 March 2024.
Participants are expected to cover their own travel expenses (arriving on the 3rd May and departing on the 5th afternoon or evening, or on the 6th if there are no returning flights on the 5th). Accommoda-tion and catering will be provided without charge. With enough notice, accommodation for the night of Saturday May 2 can also be provided, at cost (approximately 50 Euros per person).
