About the Society

The Australian and New Zealand Law and History Society was formed in 1993.  It is an interdisciplinary group of scholars who share an interest in the connections between law and history.  The society grew out of the annual Law in History Conferences, which have been running since 1982.  Members of the society include historians, lawyers, academics and others interested in the area.  Most of the members live in Australia or New Zealand, but their areas of interest are not confined to the law in those places.

The Society publishes a bulletin twice each year, which contains details of the annual conferences and meetings, and lists publications which members might find interesting.

31st Annual Australian and New Zealand Law and History Conference

Conference Theme = Receiving Laws/Giving Laws

 

The theme of the conference orients us towards the movement, transmission and transformation of laws and their histories – across Empire, through time, in and between genres and disciplines. The receiving and giving of laws could be addressed in a broad range of ways. Some questions which might be raised by this topic include: How do laws and histories translocate? By what means (doctrinal, processual, cultural) are laws transmitted and received in new places? What transformations happen as a result of this movement? Whose histories, cultures and laws appear and disappear through these transformations? What kinds of interventions can bring about ways of transforming, perceiving and transmitting the law and its histories/cultures?


Call for Papers open

The conference is hosted by University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), 10-12 December 2012.
