Teaching Consumer Law Conference – Houston, Texas, 21 & 22 May 2010

Once again, the Center for Consumer Law at the University of Houston Law Center is organizing an international conference on “Teaching Consumer Law."   The Conference will focus on how, if at all, the teaching of consumer law should be affected by the recent recession and eventual recovery. The Conference is directed at those currently teaching or interested in teaching consumer law at the law school or college level. A discussion of prior conferences may be found here (2006) and here (2008).

The conference will deal with themes such as:

• How should we integrate recent economic developments into a consumer law course?
• How has the economic downturn affected consumer law outside of the U.S.?
• Does the U.S. need additional consumer regulation?
• Are there innovative ways to resolve consumer problems that should be taught? 
• How can we teach the multitude of subjects encompassed within the term “consumer law”?
• A consumer law update

Papers are invited on any of the above themes, or any other topic related to the teaching of consumer law and recent economic developments. Proposed papers may discuss the law of any jurisdiction; however, the emphasis is on topics of interest to law school professors and those with an interest in entering the profession.

 

Those who wish to submit a paper are invited to forward a paper proposal including a brief abstract of not longer than 400 words and contact information for the author of the paper. The proposals should be sent to Dean Richard M. Alderman at alderman@uh.edu. Proposals should be submitted no later than 4 December 2009. Authors will be promptly notified of acceptance by 18 December 2009. Final drafts of the papers are to be forwarded by not later than the 1st of April  2006. The language of the conference is English.  

 

The conference will be held in Houston on the 21st and 22nd of May 2010 and will consist of one full-day and one half day session. Conference registration fees will be waived for all presenters. Some scholarships are available for travel and room costs. Selected papers will be published in the Journal of Consumer and Commercial Law, http://www.jtexconsumerlaw.com.

 

More information about the Conference will be posted as the program is finalized.
