International Law in the Next Two Decades: Form or Substance?
20th Annual ANZSIL Conference
Wellington, New Zealand
Thursday 5 July - Saturday 7 July, 2012
This Conference is the Society’s twentieth annual conference, and provides an opportunity to reflect on the last twenty years in the development of international law, but equally important to look ahead to the emerging issues and to speculate on what the next twenty years will bring for international law and its practice and teaching. The relentless progression of climate change, the political revolutions and uprisings in the Middle East, the relationship between the growing economic and political power of countries outside Europe and North America and their approach to international law and diplomacy, the sharpening of debates over food security, the inability of the United Nations to reform its institutional arrangements relating to international peace and security, the fragility of the international financial system and popular movements challenging its morality and legitimacy, the resurgence of fundamentalisms, and the continuing disgrace of widespread poverty, among many others.
Speakers:
- Professor Jan Klabbers, Professor of International Organisations Law and Director of the Centre of Excellence in Global Governance Research, University of Helsinki
- Ms Valerie Hughes, Director, Legal Affairs Division, World Trade Organization
- Professor Richard Fentiman, Professor of Private International Law, University of Cambridge
- Professor Ivan Shearer, Emeritus Professor of Law, University of Sydney (formerly Challis Chair of International Law), Adjunct Professor, School of Law, University of South Australia

Victoria-Cornell Colloquium on Jurisprudential Perspectives of Taxation Law
Date: 24–25 September 2012
Time: 9.00 am
Venue: Cornell University, Ithaca, New York
Invitation to a Colloquium of Eight Seminars at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York
THE COLLOQUIUM will focus on analytical and normative legal philosophy as applied to income tax law, examining judicial reasoning in income tax cases. Seminars will examine such questions as: do legal philosophers’ expositions of the nature of law adequately explain the nature of income tax law? What light do theories of jurisprudence that have not traditionally examined income tax law shed on this question? What is the relationship between law and morality in the context of income tax? Contributions are welcome on all topics of taxation law. (Discussion will generally not be concerned with broad topics of fiscal policy, or, for instance, on whether governments should use taxes to redistribute wealth.)
Please see the Invitation and Call for Papers below.
