We welcome submissions of full papers or paper drafts on any topic regarding Law and

paper drafts. We encourage submissions by young researchers at the PhD level to present and
discuss their work w i t h more experienced scholars. The conference language is English.
To submit your manuscript please send an email with a PDF version (other file formats will not be
processed) to the following email address: [email protected]
Please list in your email the name(s), affiliation(s), and email contacts of the author(s), and
please indicate who will likely be the presenter of the paper, if accepted. Please add contact
details of your co-authors if they also plan to attend the conference.
The deadline for submission is January 31, 2017. Acceptance decisions will be communicated in
March 2017. If your paper gets accepted for presentation, you need to send the completed manuscript to
the commentator, who will be assigned to you, no later than June 12, 2017.
Should you wish to participate without presenting a paper, please register by writing an email to
the local organizer ([email protected]) no later than May 10, 2017. Regardless of whether
they present a paper, all participants are requested to act as a commentator.
Each participant will have to transfer a participation fee of €100 to the GLEA/GRÖ e.V. prior to the
conference registration.
Detailed information on the registration procedure, the preliminary program, as well as
accommodation and travel suggestions will be communicated from March 2017 on.
During the conference, the annual assembly of GLEA/GRÖ e.V. will be held.
As in previous years, the German Law and Economics Association might be able to reimburse a part
of the expenses of younger researchers who do not have access to travel budgets at their universities.
If you are interested, please indicate your prospective expenses for travel and accommodation when
submitting your paper. Naturally, we are unable to predict at this time what share of your expenses
GLEA/GRÖ e.V. will actually be able to cover.
