Conference Announcement: Fletcher's Grammar of Criminal Law at Cardozo

On November 5 and 6, 2006, The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, the Jacob Burns Institute for Advanced Legal Studies, and the Cardozo Law Review will present a conference on George P. Fletcher's forthcoming book, The Grammar of Criminal Law, American, European, International.

Like Rethinking Criminal Law -- Fletcher's groundbreaking work of 1978 -- The Grammar of Criminal Law examines crime and punishment from a philosophical and comparative law point of view.

Accordingly, the conference will feature commentary from philosophers, lawyers, and legal scholars from around the world.  The papers will be published in a symposium edition of The Cardozo Law Review.

We invite you to join us in New York on November 5th and 6th for two days of discussion and debate on the deep structure of criminal law .
