Experts, Authority and Law: conference at the University of Hull, 14-15 Sept. 2009
septembre 2, 2009
This interdisciplinary conference will examine the authority of experts, the authority of law, and the relations between them.
The general aim of the conference is to explore the bearing of contemporary developments in the area of social epistemology on the study of the institution of law. More specifically we are interested in exploring the interrelations between epistemic and practical authority with special reference to the authority of law. The conference will address both theoretical and applied issues.
We welcome papers on the following themes from legal, philosophical, historical, sociological and any other relevant perspectives.
* The nature of theoretical and practical authority. What are the parallels and differences between the authority accorded to experts and the practical authority of legislators and judges?
* Expertise as a basis of political authority. To what extent does the legitimate authority of legislators and judges depend on their claim to expertise on the matters about which they pronounce?
* Establishing and contesting expert authority in legal settings. How do (or should) courts decide which experts to trust and what weight to give their evidence? Is the authority claimed by experts a threat to the claims of courts (and in particular juries) to make fair and authoritative determinations of questions of fact?
* Experts in the democratic process. What is the proper role of experts in making law and policy? To what extent can legal procedures provide a model for lay decision-making based on expert knowledge (e.g. citizens’ juries)?

L’arbitrage dans la justice consulaire parisienne, selon Amalia Kessler
avril 10, 2009
Amalia Kessler, auteur de A Revolution in Commerce: the Parisian Merchant Court and the Rise of Commercial Society in Eighteenth-Century France (Yale University Press, 2007) a donné deux séminaires à Paris le jeudi 2 (S. Cerutti, EHESS) et le vendredi 3 avril 2009 (P. Gervais, D. Margairaz et P. MInard). Lors de sa présentation, elle a exposé son approche de la juridiction consulaire, en se distinguant d’une historiographie classique du droit commercial et des pratiques commerciales, et indiqué ses principaux résultats, en soulignant que la juridiction consulaire a participé au changement de discours sur le commerce et sur les pratiques commerciales.
