The
Critical Legal Conference 2009 will be held in Leicester, UK. The main
theme of the conference, "Genealogies: Excavating Legal Modernity",

Foucault for the study of law, especially in light of the ongoing
publication of his lectures at the Collège de France.

by email directly to the conference organisers ([email protected]) no
