Call for Abstracts: Legal Philosophy Workshop 2027 at Stanford University [Offline, 17-18 June 2027; Abstracts by 8 January 2027]

The Legal Philosophy Workshop (LPW) is an annual pre-read workshop designed to foster reflection on the nature of law and the philosophical issues underlying its different areas. This is the 14th annual workshop, hosted in-person on June 17 to 18, 2027 at Stanford University. All sessions are plenary.

The workshop aims to promote work that connects legal philosophy with other branches of philosophy, such as moral and political philosophy, metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of race, epistemology, feminist philosophy, or philosophy of action, and to create a venue for the critical examination of different viewpoints about law.

This is an open call for abstracts. You can submit an abstract to present a paper, or volunteer to comment on a paper. The organisers invite anyone interested to forward the call.

• The abstract must be anonymized.
• It must not exceed 1,000 words.
• The form also asks whether AI was used in composing the abstract, and if so, how.
• Commenters specify the areas of philosophy and/or law on which they are interested in commenting.

Fill out the online form to submit an abstract, volunteer to comment, or join the mailing list. Required fields include email, first name, last name and your interest (attending, presenting or commenting). The Legal Philosophy Workshop Google group carries announcements about this and future events.

The deadline for submitting an abstract is Friday, January 8, 2027. The organisers expect to notify all participants in March 2027. The workshop takes place on June 17 to 18, 2027.
