The Faculty of Law hosts a three-day international conference marking the 50th anniversary of the 2nd edition of Hans Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law.

Leading theorists and philosophers from 11 countries will discuss central topics in contemporary jurisprudence while engaging with Kelsen’s many contributions to the field. By bringing together speakers from different legal systems and traditions, this conference purports to make a significant contribution to the current state of jurisprudential debate and to strengthen the international ties in the jurisprudence community. The full programme is available.

Accommodation is not provided for anyone other than the speakers, but Bed & Breakfast college accommodation may be booked through www.budgetstayuk.com; www.oxfordrooms.co.uk; and hotels and B&Bs in Oxford may be booked through www.visitoxford.org

This conference is supported by the Faculty of Law and the Oxford Centre for Ethics & Philosophy of Law; by the Faculty of Law at the University of Buenos Aires; and held in cooperation with and co-funded by the Austrian Science Fund Project Project ‘Bibliographical Research on Hans Kelsen’ at the University of Vienna (P19287, www.hanskelsen.eu).
