Workshops and Seminars for Students and Faculty

Harvard Law School offers several legal workshops and seminars focused on specialized fields of law. These workshops and seminars bring together students, faculty, and others to learn about emerging scholarship from leading thinkers, explore challenges in various fields of law, and engage in vibrant discussion.

Workshops and seminars have different attendance requirements, so please reach out to the relevant contact person to find out whether you will be able to participate.

This workshop engages key questions in comparative law, using as focal points the study of Chinese and Islamic law and legal history. Students read examples of influential scholarship in each field both for their importance and as a vehicle for thinking about methodological issues in comparative work in general.  Students also have the opportunity to engage several leading scholars in each field who will present works-in-progress.

This seminar compares and contrasts how international law regulates the interactions of nations with how private law regulates the interactions of persons and firms.
