In light of the global health crisis and measures adopted by Cornell to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we decided to POSTPONE the first Cornell Conference in Philosophy of Law. It was originally scheduled for May 15-17, 2020. If you booked a hotel through the website at Hilton Garden Inn, you can cancel it without charge until April 1st. We regret any inconvenience this might cause.
The conference will be conducted virtually on September 19th and September 26, with three 50-minute sessions devoted to Q&A on each day from 12 noon to 3:30pm EST. Needless to say, the sessions are pre-read. The papers are available below.
You must register in order to receive and access the Zoom session links. Registration is free and the links to register for each day of the conference are included below. Please sign into zoom using the email address you registered with.
