Interesting natural-law project

MOJ-friend Bradley Lewis (CUA) passes on this item:

This past Sunday a meeting took place in Guadalajara, Mexico, at the Panamerican University campus there, aimed at launching a Panamerican network of scholars who work in the natural law tradition in law, philosophy, and other related disciplines.  Among those present at the meeting were Rodolfo Vigo and Carlos Massini, two of the most respected legal philosophers in Latin America.  The aim of the network would be to encourage increased international collaboration between scholars in the Anglo-American world and those in Latin America who seek to develop the natural law tradition and to engage with other traditions of philosophical jurisprudence.  Those present agreed on two immediate projects: first, the construction of a website with a listing of scholars who wish to be affiliated with the network, including information on their published writings; and second, the translation into Spanish of the most important recent English-language works on natural law theory.  There have already been some preliminary discussions of this latter project with the Mexican branch of Oxford University Press.  There was also a discussion of some possible projects for the future, including the organization of international conferences and the publication of a journal.  The construction of the website will be undertaken at the Aguascalientes campus of the Panamerican University and led by Aaron Castillo, who is a professor in the Law School there.  I would be happy to pass along the names and email addresses of anyone who would like to be affiliated with this important project.  For the moment, all that is involved is a listing on the network site, which will also eventually serve as a clearing house for information on natural law jurisprudence in the Americas.
