1. Call for Papers: Fall 2023 Works-in-Progress Workshop – Comparative Constitutional Law in the Global South. Columbia Law School invites submissions for a works-in-progress workshop in comparative constitutional law. The workshop, convened with the support of the Dr. B.R.

They welcome, for example, papers that study the challenge of democratization and of democratic stability; that address the problems of weak state capacity and state failure; that consider the relationship between economic growth, welfare, and constitutionalism; that explore shifts in regulatory approaches and institutions as countries progress and develop; and so forth. Interested scholars should submit an abstract (roughly two pages) by 1 March 2023, to Ms. Bree Adesanya at aadesanya {at} law.columbia(.)edu. Successful applications will be notified by 15 April and draft papers (roughly 10,000–15,000 words) should be submitted by 1 August. The workshop will be held on 20 – 21 October 2023, at Columbia Law School in New York. The Ambedkar Fund will cover reasonable travel and accommodation costs for presenters.

4. Call for Papers: The European Union and Interpretation of Customary International Law Workshop. The TRICI-Law and EUDIPLO projects are organising a Workshop in Groningen on 28 of April 2023. The Workshop aims to examine the interpretation of customary international law within and by the EU. This will be done by taking a dual perspective: 1. An outside-in perspective in which they analyse how CIL has been and is being interpreted in the EU legal order and which choices are made by the legislator and the judiciary; and, 2. An inside-out perspective in which specific interpretations of customary international law by the EU may find their way into the global debates and lead to further clarification, development and/or even possible modification of the existing rules. Those interested in submitting an abstract are invited to do so by the 24 of February 2023, and to also consult TRICI-Law’s findings here, which describe what is meant by interpretation of customary international law. For further instructions (abstract word count; CV etc.), see the call for papers here.
