Riconosciute le Ragioni dell' AIDC
ha riconosciuto appieno le buone ragioni dell'AIDC nella sua querelle contro il MIUR
che aveva respinto le nostre reiterate - negli anni - richieste di dare attuazione alla reciproca affinità fra il Diritto privato comparato (IUS 02) e il Diritto pubblico comparato (IUS 21).
Il TAR ha confermato l'AIDC associazione esponenziale degli studiosi della materia, come tale peraltro già riconosciuta dal MIUR,
ed ha annullato il provvedimento del Ministero che ostava al riconoscimento dell'affinità tra questi settori disciplinari che da sempre la nostra Associazione vede riuniti.
Secondo il TAR, fra l'altro,
"la mancata comunicazione dei motivi ostativi all'accoglimento dell'istanza e la conseguente adozione del provvedimento negativo senza il previo contraddittorio procedimentale, è
omissione idonea ad inficiare l'atto impugnato, tenuto conto, per quanto
concerne la controversia in trattazione, della natura ampiamente
discrezionale dell'attività provvedimentale rimessa al Commissario e della
circostanza che se fosse stata posta nelle condizione di proporre le sue
osservazioni l'Associazione avrebbe sicuramente evidenziato l'evoluzione
degli orientamenti del CUN in ordine all'accorpamento dei raggruppamenti
disciplinari de quibus ..." continua
A tal proposito ricordiamo che con deliberazione del settembre scorso il
CUN ha proposto la creazione di un unico settore disciplinare "Diritto
comparato" che unisce sia IUS 02 che IUS 21.
Si tratta, come ognuno vede, di un importante riconoscimento delle ragioni della nostra Associazione nel portare avanti il programma che ci eravamo dati.
A tutti i soci che ci hanno sostenuto con la loro opera e le loro numerose mail di solidarietà va il nostro sentito ringraziamento per l'affetto dimostrato nei confronti della nostra Associazione che non è mai venuto meno

Hovenkamp on Coase, Institutionalism, and the Origins of Law and Economics
Posted by Mary L. Dudziak on the Legal History Blog
Coase, Institutionalism, and the Origins of Law and Economics has just been posted by Herbert J. Hovenkamp, University of Iowa College of Law. Here's the abstract:
AIDC WebSite Comparative Law News
Ronald Coase merged two traditions in economics, marginalism and instituread more ...tionalism. Neoclassical economics in the 1930s was characterized by an abstract conception of marginalism and frictionless resource movement. Marginal analysis did not seek to uncover the source of individual human preference, but accepted preference as given. It treated the business firm in the same way, focusing on how firms make market choices, but saying little about their internal workings.
“Institutionalism” historically refers to a group of economists who wrote mainly in the 1920s and 1930s.

Mixed Jurisdictions Compared
Recent publication of Vernon Valentine Palmer and Elspeth Christie Reid (eds), Mixed jurisdictions compared: private law in Louisiana and Scotland (2009).
As the Edinburgh University Press site explains:
Returning to a theme featured in some of the earlier volumes in the Edinburgh Studies in Law series, this volume offers an in-depth study of ‘mixed jurisdictions’ – legal systems which combine elements of the Anglo-American Common Law and the European Civil Law traditions. This new collection of essays compares key areas of private law in Scotland and Louisiana. In thirteen chapters, written by distinguished scholars on both sides of the Atlantic, it explores not only legal rules but also the reasons for the rules, discussing legal history, social and cultural factors, and the law in practice, in order to account for patterns of similarity and difference. Contributions are drawn from the Law Schools of Tulane University, Louisiana State University, Loyola University New Orleans, the American University Washington DC, and the Universities of Aberdeen, Strathclyde and Edinburgh.The contributions include:
1. Praedial Servitudes, Kenneth GC Reid
2. Title Conditions in Restraint of Trade, John A Lovett
3. Servitudes: Extinction by Non-Use, Roderick RM Paisley
4. Inheritance and the Surviving Spouse, Ronald J Scalise Jr
5. Ownership of Trust Property in Scotland and Louisiana, James Chalmers
6. The Legal Regulation of Adult Domestic Relationships, Kenneth McK Norrie
7. Impediments to Marriage in Scotland and Louisiana: An Historical - Comparative Investigation, J-R Trahan
8. Contracts of Intellectual Gratification - A Louisiana-Scotland Creation, Vernon Valentine Palmer
9. The Effect of Unexpected Circumstances on Contracts in Scots and Louisiana Law, Laura Macgregor
10. Hunting Promissory Estoppel, David V Snyder
11. Unjustified Enrichment, Subsidiarity and Contract, Hector L MacQueen
12. Causation as an Element of Delict/Tort in Scots and Louisiana Law, Martin A Hogg
13. Personality Rights: A Study in Difference, Elspeth Christie Reid.
The work should be of interest to all comparatists:
‘This is an impressive and extremely valuable contribution not only to the study of the law of mixed jurisdictions, but also of comparative law in general. Mixed jurisdictions are veritable comparative-law laboratories in continuous operation. A comparison of two such laboratories, when done with the insight, depth and sophistication that characterize this book, is a marvelous gift to comparatists and legal historians around the world.’ - Symeon C. Symeonides, Dean and Alex L. Parks Distinguished Professor of Law, President, American Society of Comparative Law
‘Fifty years ago, mixed legal systems would reach out to one another feeling embattled and lonely, as if banding together would stave off their otherwise inevitable juridical demise. Today, legal sources are increasingly recognized as mixed in nearly all jurisdictions and, as a result, places like Louisiana and Scotland are no longer seen as isolated or exotic. This book is thus doubly important: first, as comparative study of private law in Louisiana and Scotland and, second, as a work that helps explain the reconfiguration - real or imagined - of legal traditions elsewhere in this age of globalization.’ - Nicholas Kasirer, McGill University
Anyone interested in additional information on mixed legal systems should visit the website of the World Society of Mixed Jurisdiction Jurists.

ABOUT IS.L.R:
The Israel Law Review is the oldest and most prestigious
law journal appearing in English in Israel, published for
more than 40 years under the academic auspices of the
Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The
Faculty of Law recently decided to shift the focus of the
journal to public law and human rights in times of tension,
conflict and transformation, and to place it under the
academic and organizational leadership of the Minerva
Center for Human Rights. This new focus acknowledges a
growing interest in the ability of public law and human
rights norms and institutions to meet the challenges faced
by societies under pressure, and is indicative of the
increased relevance of comparative and international
scholarship to existing debates in and on such societies.
The Israel Law Review will continue to publish three issues
per year. These issues will continue to be distributed in
paper and electronic form (in Lexis and HeinOnline). The
issues will contain, as before, long articles, shorter
notes and book reviews submitted to the journal by a
variety of authors from around the world. All submissions

more referees, and undergo technical and style editing by
the student editors - supervised and assisted by the
journal's Academic Editor (Dr. Yael Ronen), Executive
Editor (Adv. Danny Evron) and Production Editor (Adv.
Michele Manspeizer). The general policy of the Law Review,
as well as overall responsibility for its contents and
format, will lie with the two Editors-in-Chief: Prof. Yuval
Shany (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and Prof. Sir Nigel
Rodley (University of Essex).
ADVISORY BOARD:
In its new format, the Israel Law Review will be assisted
by an International Advisory Board composed of prominent
public law and human rights experts:
- Prof. Aharon Barak (former President of the Israeli
Supreme Court)
- Prof. Daphne Barak-Erez (Tel-Aviv University)

tension, conflict and transition - to consider submitting
future work for publication in the Israel Law Review. We
are committed to a prompt and professional review and
printing process, and believe that we can offer you an
attractive and prestigious publication platform.

60 years of GrundGesetz in The German Law Journal
The German Law Journal opens its 11th year of publication with a very special special issue: "The Basic Law at 60", concluding finally the year of Germany's great constitutional anniversary while setting out into a new decade, brings together a unique selection of contributions taking stock of six decades of the German Basic Law, with articles by Susanne Baer, Dieter Grimm, Juliane Kokott,Matthias Mahlmann, Hubert Rottleuthner and Brigitte Zypries.
This special issue originates in a lecture series sponsored by the German civil rights organization Humanist Union and the Law and Society Institute at Humbold University's Faculty of Law which took place in Berlin throughout 2009 and took stock of six decades of the German Basic Law with commentary from academia, politics and the media. Employing perspectives from legal doctrine, the humanities, or the social sciences, the lecture series attempted to contrast the normative claim of the constitutional text ? mirrored in the current public law doctrinal debate ? with empirical or critical consideration of contemporary German society. The German Law Journal now proudly publishes a selection of these lectures.
Dargo on the clash of legal traditions
The Purchase of all of Louisiana in 1803 brought the new American nation into contact with the French Creole population of the Lower Mississippi Basin. While the settlement in and around the city of New Orleans (the capital of the province when it was ruled by Spain) was not large, it had well established governmental and legal institutions. One of the most vexing problems that confronted the administration of Thomas Jefferson after the purchase of all of Louisiana in 1803: Which system of law would prevail in this volatile corner of the North American continent—Louisiana civil law or Anglo-American common law?
That Louisianians would remain committed to their civil law heritage was by no means certain. But the enactment of the Civil Law Digest by the territorial legislature in 1808 was a major event in the evolution of Louisiana’s increasingly complex legal regime. Jefferson’s Louisiana shows how this important moment came at a time when political forces and outside events joined together to reinforce local determination to resist total Americanization and to preserve Louisiana’s established legal culture. The book reconnects a segment of American legal history to the general history of the period. In addition to official records, it also uses archival sources that demonstrate how the struggle between civil law and common law forces affected people who were either outside of, or but marginally connected to, legal and governmental structures.
Sally Reeves, Former Chief Archivist of the New Orleans Notarial Archives and President of the Louisiana Historical Society (2003-9) called the work:
A rich and pioneering examination of the roles of Thomas Jefferson, Edward Livingston, and others in the battles between Creoles and Americans at the dawn of the American period in Louisiana. Dargo’s deft analysis sets the contest between civil and common law against the background of a larger cultural struggle. It is a major contributor to our understanding of the challenge of integrating disparate and competing traditions in a democracy.
Lesaffer on Legal History
The rediscovery of Roman law and the emergence of classical canon law around AD 1100 marked the beginnings of the civil law tradition in Europe. Between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries, a highly sophisticated legal science of a truly European dimension was developed. Since then the different European States have developed their own national legal systems, but with the exception of England and Ireland they are all heirs to this tradition of the ius commune. This historical introduction to the civil law tradition, from its original Roman roots to the present day, considers the political and cultural context of Europe’s legal history. Political, diplomatic and constitutional developments are discussed, and the impacts of major cultural movements, such as scholasticism, humanism, the Enlightenment and Romanticism, on law and jurisprudence are highlighted. This contextual approach makes for a fascinating story, accessible to any reader regardless of legal or historical background.
Mahmud on Law and Geography
Tayyab Mahmud has published Law and Geography: A Commentary from the Margins of Empire
Here is the abstract
This commentary examines the relationship between law and geography through the prism of colonialism and empire. Using two novels set in the India of 19th and 21st century, respectively, it evaluates the so-called first law of geography that posits determinative valance of spatial distance upon relations between things. It is argued that the formative and enduring relationship between global systems of domination and modern law has created a geo-legal space that has a global dimension. This geo-legal space procreates norms and subjectivities that are intimately related to spatially distant forces and projects.

Constitutional Law in Hong Kong
Chen on the Internalization of Constitutional Law in Hong Kong
Albert H.Y. Chen (Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong) has posted International Human Rights Law and Domestic Constitutional Law: Internationalisation of Constitutional Law in Hong Kongon SSRN. Here is the abstract:
- The case of Hong Kong, a former British colony which since 1997 has become a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, provides an interesting case study of the interaction of international human rights law and domestic constitutional law and the internationalisation of constitutional law. Hong Kong has, since 1991, introduced constitutional and legislative arrangements to enable the human rights norms in International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to have constitutional force in Hong Kong, to be justiciable before the Hong Kong courts and to be used as yardsticks for constitutional judicial review of legislative and governmental actions. This system has continued to operate effectively after the handover in 1997 under the new constitutional regime established by the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region enacted by the PRC.
Part II of this article provides an overview of the application of the norms of international human rights in the domestic law of the HKSAR. Part III consists of several case studies of major court cases in recent years that illustrate the internationalisation of constitutional law in Hong Kong. Part IV seeks to locate the case of Hong Kong in the international and global context, and to develop a conceptual framework for the study of the internationalisation of constitutional law. It seeks an understanding or explanation of the internationalisation of constitutional law in the HKSAR in terms of the lack of an indigenous constitutional tradition in Hong Kong and the peculiar mentality of the people of Hong Kong living under “one country, two systems”, particularly their anxiety regarding the “mainlandization” of Hong Kong and their aspirations for the preservation of civil liberties and the maintenance of their cherished way of life.
Comparative Legal History on the Law of Presuptions
Essays in comparative legal history
Duncker & Humblot - Berlin have recently published a new title in their Comparative Studies in Continental and Anglo-American Legal History series.The work is RH Helmholz and W David H Sellar (eds), The law of presumptions: essays in comparative legal history. The book contains the following:
- RH Helmholz and WDH Sellar, 'Presumptions in Comparative Legal History'
Part One: Continental Traditions:
- A Giuliani, 'Civilian Treatises on Presumptions, 1580-1620'
- KW Nörr, 'On the Early History of prima facie Evidence in German Law'
- CH van Rhee, 'Presumptions in Dutch Private Law (19th and 20th Centuries) within a European Context'
- F Migliorino, 'The Night Bird of Minerva. On to Truth and Evidence in the Turning Point of Modernity'
Part Two: English Traditions:
- DJ Seipp, 'Presumptions in Early English Common Law'
- RH Helmholz, 'The Law of Presumptions and the English Ecclesiastical Courts'
- B Shapiro, 'Presumptions and Circumstantial Evidence in the Anglo-American Legal Tradition, 1500-1900'
- TP Gallanis, 'Death by Disaster: Anglo-American Presumptions, 1766-2006'
Part Three: Mixed Systems:
- WDH Sellar, 'Presumptions in Scots Law'
- J du Plessis, 'Presumptions in South African Law: An Historical Perspective'
The Duncker and Humblot website explains:
The law of presumptions has never been popular among commentators. It has attracted few scholars, and most of the few who have ventured into the subject have come away as critics rather than admirers. Certainly, there are plausible reasons for this bad reputation. Presumptions are evidently inferior to more direct forms of proof; indeed they may not be forms of proof at all. They raise difficulties of definition and classification. Some presumptions also seem quite artificial, hard to defend as reliable indicators of the truth.
Despite their poor reputation, they have long been accepted and applied in practice. Legal presumptions play a part in virtually all Western legal systems. It is hard to image a workable law of proof without them, and their acceptance has been a fact of life for many centuries. Even in England, where the use of juries in the common law might seem to have excluded any need for legal presumptions, they took hold from an early date. They thus seem to be a natural candidate for comparative historical treatment. The essays in this volume seek to address this gap in scholarship.
The essays do not set out directly to rehabilitate the law of presumptions. They seek rather to explore the process by which presumptions worked their way into Western law and to examine the links that have existed between legal systems. The essays embrace not only English common law and Continental systems, but also 'mixed systems' like the law of Scotland and of Southern Africa. By examining the subject from an historical point of view, they seek to help explain the acceptance and persistence of a law of presumptions in Western law.
This appears to be yet another important work in an important series, a must-read for those interested in comparative legal history or legal hybrids.
7th ASLI conference in Kuala Lumpur, 25-26 May 2010
7th ASLI conference in Kuala Lumpur, 25-26 May 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS (SHORT DEADLINE!)Quoting from the website of the Asian Law Institute:
the Asian Law Institute (ASLI) and the Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, International Islamic University, Malaysia are holding the 7th Annual ASLI conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 25th and 26th May 2010.
The conference format remains broadly the same as last year: there will be five rounds of six parallel sessions over two days. The broad theme of the conference is "Law in a Pluralist Asia: Challenges and Prospects." Asia is arguably the most pluralist region in the world and law has a critical role in accommodating and managing this plurality, which exists at so many levels.
Within the broad conference theme of "Law in a Pluralist Asia: Challenges and Prospects", five of the parallel sessions will focus on selected sub-themes: (1) religion/religious laws (studying aspects of various religious laws, for example, Islamic(Shariah), Jewish, Hindu, Biblical in their historical contexts and application to modern life, as well as examining the place of religion in national legal systems); (2) norms, values and law (exploring competing social, cultural, religious, traditional norms as well as the balancing of minority and majority interests in society); (3) legal pluralism (examining the historical and contemporary phenomenon of the coexistence of different legal systems within various jurisdictions in Asia ); (4) law and economic development (examining different models of economic development in Asia and how law has a role to play in facilitating economic development and international trade taking into account the different stages of social and political development in Asia; (5) regionalization and law (looking at the role of law in developing regional institutions and common standards as well as the harmonization of legal and regulatory regimes. Session (6) will be a general one to include presentations that address the broad theme but may not fit comfortably within the subthemes, or may cut across subthemes, for example, conflict of law or comparative law.
Call for papers
There will be four papers per panel to give presenters and discussants adequate time for fruitful engagement. We encourage participants to focus their papers and address the conference theme and sub-themes. In addition to the general call for individual papers, we would also like to encourage individuals to organise their own panels by coordinating with colleagues, preferably from other ASLI institutions. This will allow for the panels to be more cohesive and will also foster greater collaboration between academics, which is one of the key aims of ASLI.
Deadline for submission of an abstract or panel is 8 January 2010
for more information: http://law.nus.edu.sg/asli/asli_journal.htm; http://www.iium.edu.my/laws/journal.php
May the new year – both 2010 and the coming Chinese year of the Tiger – be peaceful, happy and fruitful for all!
Call for Papers at McGill on International and Domestic Law
Dean Maxwell and Isle Cohen Doctoral Seminar in International Law
“Implementing International Law in the Domestic Legal Order”
Monday, 28 June, 2010
The Hans & Tamar Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law and the Faculty of Law, McGill University, together with the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism and the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law, are pleased to announce the first Dean Maxwell and Isle Cohen Doctoral Seminar in International Law to take place on Monday 28 June 2010, at the Faculty of Law of McGill University, in Montreal.
The Dean Maxwell and Isle Cohen Doctoral Seminar in International Law offers twelve doctoral and post-doctoral researchers with a keen interest in international law, the opportunity to present and discuss their research ideas with fellow researchers and professors from the Faculty.
The aim of the first seminar is to advance the understanding of theoretical and practical dimensions of the interaction between international treaty law, international customary law and other international obligations with the domestic legal order, with due regard to the constitutional setting in federal and unitary states.
To address these issues, the first Dean Maxwell and Isle Cohen Doctoral Seminar in International Law will encourage a comprehensive discussion of the issue of the domestic implementation of international law, and will welcome papers covering diverse topics exploring the nexus between international law and domestic law, in any relevant field of law (from trade law to criminal law through the law of the sea or labour law, to take only a few examples), such as:
· Substantive consistency between international law and domestic law,
· Political authority and domestic legal status: the idea of a constitutional dialogue,
· Judges as norm entrepreneurs,
· Domestic foundation of a global legal order,
· Private actors as subjects of international law.
The twelve participants selected will be expected to prepare in advance a paper in pre-publication work-in-progress form. Participants may also prepare a PowerPoint presentation and/or a hand-out to be distributed to other participants. All the papers (with the PowerPoint presentations and/or hand-outs, where applicable) will be posted on the website of the Oppenheimer Chair, in a specific working papers series.
The Oppenheimer Chair will pay for the accommodation of the selected participants on 24 and 25 June 2010. Transportation will be the responsibility of the participants.

POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS IN QUEBEC
POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS: The Quebec Research Centre of Private and Comparative Law/Le Centre de recherche en droit privé et comparé du Québec
The Quebec Research Centre of Private and Comparative Law invites applications for three postgraduate scholarship opportunities.1. FQRSC Scholarship in Transsystemic Legal Studies
With significant financial support from the Fonds québécois de la recherche sur la société et la culture, the QRCPCL has launched a wide-ranging research program on transsystemic legal education and how it affects our understanding of the discipline of law. Funds are available for one graduate student, either at the doctoral or the master's level (up to $15,000), to participate in this program. The selected student will be one whose proposed research relates to aspects of transsystemic legal education or legal epistemology. This could include (but is not limited to): comparative law as applied in legal education; methodology or philosophy of comparative law; methodology or philosophy of legal education; interdisciplinary perspectives on comparative law or legal education. The student will participate in the activities of the research program, including the organization of conferences on transsystemic legal education, the publication of conference proceedings, and the publication of scholarship on transsystemic legal thought.
The successful student may be granted a renewable or a non-renewable scholarship. This scholarship is now offered for 2010-11. Priority will be given to students applying to postgraduate programs at McGill University's Faculty of Law. Such candidates should indicate in their application to the Faculty of Law that they wish to be considered for this scholarship. If a suitable candidate is not found in that group, applications will be invited at a later date from other students who will be able to participate in the program of research.
2. MDEIE Scholarships in Civil Law Trusts
With significant financial support from the Ministère du Développement économique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation, the QRCPCL has launched an ambitious research program on the institution of the trust in civil law. Funds are available for one doctoral student (up to $15,000) and one masters' student (up to $12,000) to participate in this program. The selected students will be ones whose proposed research relates to aspects of the trust in the civilian tradition, or in a comparative perspective. The students will participate in the organization of a large international conference on the law of trusts, the publication of the proceedings, and in other activities related to the program of research.
The successful students may be granted renewable or non-renewable scholarships. These scholarships are now offered for 2010-11; it is expected that they will also be available, subject to the renewal of existing scholarships, in 2011-12. Priority will be given to students applying to postgraduate programs at McGill University's Faculty of Law. Such candidates should indicate in their application to the Faculty of Law that they wish to be considered for these scholarships. If a suitable candidate is not found in that group, applications will be invited at a later date from other students who will be able to participate in the program of research.
Le Centre de recherche en droit privé et comparé du Québec sollicite des candidatures pour trois bourses d'études supérieures.
1. Bourse d'étude FQRSC portant sur le transsystémisme
Avec une subvention importante du Fonds québécois de la recherche sur la société et la culture, le CRDPCQ a lancé un vaste programme de recherche sur l'enseignement transsystémique et la manière dont il affecte notre compréhension du droit comme objet d'étude. Des fonds sont disponibles pour permettre à un(e) étudiant(e) des cycles supérieurs, soit au doctorat ou à la maîtrise (jusqu'à 15,000$), de participer à ce programme de recherche. Le projet de recherche de l'étudiant(e) sélectionné(e) devra être lié à l'étude d'un ou plusieurs aspects de l'enseignement transsystémique ou de l'épistémologie juridique. Cela pourrait notamment inclure des projets touchant au droit comparé appliqué à l'éducation juridique, à la méthodologie ou à la philosophie du droit comparé, à la méthodologie ou de la philosophie de l'éducation juridique, ou à des perspectives interdisciplinaires sur le droit comparé ou l'éducation juridique. L'étudiant participera aux activités du programme de recherche, y compris l'organisation de conférences sur l'enseignement transsystémique, la publication des actes de ces conférences et à la publication d'études sur la pensée juridique transsystémique.
La bourse attribuée pourra être renouvelable ou non. Cette bourse est offerte dès maintenant pour l'année académique 2010-11. La bourse sera attribuée en priorité aux étudiants posant leur candidature en vue d'être admis à un programme d'études supérieures de la Faculté de droit de l'Université McGill. Ces étudiants doivent faire part de leur intérêt pour cette bourse dans leur demande d'admission à la Faculté de droit. Si aucun candidat n'est retenu parmi les étudiants posant leur candidature à l'Université McGill, les candidats de l'extérieur susceptibles de prendre part au programme de recherche seront invités à présenter une demande à une date ultérieure.
2. Bourses d'études MDEIE sur la fiducie en droit civil
Avec une subvention importante du ministère du Développement économique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation, le CRDPCQ a lancé un ambitieux programme de recherche sur l'institution de la fiducie en droit civil. Des fonds sont disponibles pour un étudiant au doctorat (jusqu'à 15,000 $) et un étudiant à la maîtrise (jusqu'à 12,000 $) pour prendre part à ce programme de recherche. Le projet de recherche des étudiants sélectionnés devra porter sur des aspects de la fiducie au sein de la tradition civiliste ou adopter une perspective comparative. Les étudiants sélectionnés participeront à l'organisation d'une importante conférence internationale sur le droit de la fiducie, à la publication des actes de cette conférence ainsi qu'à d'autres activités liées au programme de recherche.
Les bourses attribuées pourront être renouvelables ou non. Ces bourses sont offertes dès maintenant pour l'année académique 2010-11 et il est prévu qu'elles seront également disponibles, sous réserve du renouvellement des bourses existantes, en 2011-12. Les bourses seront attribuées en priorité aux étudiants posant leur candidature en vue d'être admis à un programme d'études supérieures de la Faculté de droit de l'Université McGill.
