Call for Papers: The Jurisprudential Legacy of Pope John Paul II

On March 23-24, 2006, St. John’s University School of Law and the Journal of Catholic Legal Studies will sponsor a conference on the Jurisprudential Legacy of Pope John Paul II.

John Paul II enjoyed a 26-year papacy, during which he exerted great influence on both Catholics and non-Catholics. He made a vast contribution to our understanding of the dignity of the human person and of the Church’s social doctrine, and was passionately committed to social justice and to peace. St. John’s and the Journal of Catholic Legal Studies invite papers exploring the legacy of the Pope on law, politics and culture generally and on the development of Catholic legal theory. Papers presented at the conference will be published in the Journal of Catholic Legal Studies.

Paper proposals should be sent by October 1, 2005, to Prof. Susan J. Stabile at [email protected], or at St. John’s University School of Law, 8000 Utopia Parkway, Jamaica, New York 11439.
