The 15th annual Conference of Asian Pacific American Law Faculty will be held at the University of California, Davis School of Law from March 27-29, 2009.
The theme for this year’s conference will be “Asian-Americans: Linking Asia to America.”
Various plenary sessions will consider the relationships between Asia and the West, sometimes through a comparative law approach, at other times through a transnational law approach, or through understandings of diasporic identities or the law of immigration. This theme allows us to expand CAPALF horizons to a more transnational engagement than previous CAPALF conferences, which have largely focused on the Asian American experience.
The CAPALF conferences have three main components:
1. Works in progress
2. Main thematic plenary panels and keynote addresses
3. Discussion of pedagogy and the art of scholarship
CAPALF conferences are open to all members of the legal community, including faculty, students, and practicing lawyers–though there is a registration fee for participation.
This is the official conference website.
If you click the tabs above, you will find information on registration, the conference program, airport information, and hotels.
We look forward to seeing you in sunny Davis, California at the end of March!
