by Christopher Peterson

Earlier this week the Law and Society Association released the program for an upcoming conference entitled "Compartive Consumer Overindebtedness". (See: Download ls_berlin_conference_program.3-15-07.rtf ) The meeting, organized by the steady hand of Bill Whitford (U.of Wisconsin), along with Johanna Niemi-Kiesilainen (Umeå University) and Iain Ramsay (Osgood Hall), is part of the Law and Society Association’s annual meeting scheduled for Berlin later this summer. The meeting will include presentations by approximately forty different consumer law scholars from all around the world. A quick glance at the program suggests the meeting is likely to produce one of the more interesting intellectual discussions of consumer credit policy in several years.
