Thursday, October 16 - Saturday, October 18, 2025

Submissions may consist of a proposal (a) to present individual (solo- or co-authored) papers or (b) complete panels related to the conference theme.

  1. Proposals to present individual papers should include a 250 word abstract in the body of an email, as well as in an attachment (Microsoft Word or PDF), sent to comparativelaw [at] mcgill.ca

Both the email and the attachment must contain author name(s), title of the paper, institutional affiliation(s), contact information, and three to five keywords.

  1. Proposals for complete panels may be up to 500 words in length and should contain the same information listed above. Please provide relevant information for all proposed presenters, along with a proposed title for the panel. Please also make sure that all proposed presenters have agreed to participate in the conference should the panel proposal be accepted.

The deadline for submissions is May 14, 2025.

Abstracts received thereafter will not be considered.

Selected individual submissions will be grouped into thematically aligned panels at the direction of the ASCL Annual Meeting Program Committee. The Program Committee is not able to accommodate requests to present on specific dates or at specific times. The Committee aims to notify authors of a decision by June 21, 2025.
