The New Legal Realism Collaborative Research Network of the Law and Society Association invites proposals for the 2025 Annual Meeting May 22-25 in Chicago, IL (USA). New Legal Realism embraces empirically grounded and theoretically informed scholarship aimed at promoting social, economic, and environmental justice in the tradition of the classic American and European legal realists. We are interested in scholars with interdisciplinary perspectives and methods who engage with Legal Realist work in the U.S. and globally.
We especially invite proposals engaging with:
- The “classics” of Legal Realism including both empirical and jurisprudential
- Outsider perspectives that challenge contemporary power structures with respect to race, class, gender, and sexual orientation consistent with a contemporary take on Legal
- Ongoing changes in the legal profession and legal education related to, among other things, LawTech, public health crises, and political polarization.
- Theory and methods in the study of law and disinformation, information bubbles, and “fake news”.
- Social research into Law & Economics or transdisciplinary relations between sociolegal studies and Law & Economics
The CRN invites proposals for: (i) individual papers to be organized into panels; (ii) fully formed panels; and (iii) Author Meets Reader, Salon, or Roundtable events. Author Meets Reader books must have a publication date in 2022. Please submit your proposal by November 8, 2022 via the LSA Submission Page and indicate that it is for CRN 28: New Legal Realism.
CRN 28 also invites any authors of recent books (May 2024 through May 2025) related to New Legal Realism to contact us for inclusion on a prospective panel on new publications in the field. In addition, we also seek volunteers willing to serve as chairs, moderators, or discussants. Those interested in presenting a recent book or chairing, etc., may contact Riaz Tejani at [email protected] or Jeffrey Omari at [email protected].
