The next European Forum of Young Legal Historians will be held on 15 – 18 May 2013 in Lille (France) and Ghent (Belgium).

This forum has “(Wo)men in Legal History” as main theme, but original contributions on other subjects will also be accepted. The organizers welcome both traditional approaches in legal history and methodologically innovative research. Candidates are invited to submit their contributions. We hope that the joint venture of Lille and Ghent will incite young scholars in legal history and adjacent scientific fields to work on various scientific and intellectual concepts, to make this conference a fruitful interdisciplinary venue.

Please send your application, i.e. an abstract of not more than 2,000 characters and your CV to forum2013@aylh.org (until 31 January 2013). Lectures are preferably held in English although other main European languages are allowed. The participation fee for participants presenting a paper will be €80, for all others €100.

Further information on the Association of Young Legal Historians and past Forums as well as up-to-date information is available on www.aylh.org.

We are looking forward to your application and will be delighted to welcome you in Lille and Ghent the 15, 16, 17 and 18 of May 2013.
