Comparative Law Discussion Group: 'Eating the cake and having it all - the strife for a fair and just distribution of the estate'

The second meeting of the CLDG will be on Tuesday 9 November 12.50-2pm in the Moot Court of the Law Faculty. Liane Schmiedel, Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law and Visiting Fellow of Wolfson College for Michaelmas 2010 will be presenting a short paper and leading discussion on:'Eating the cake and having it all - the strife for a fair and just distribution of the estate'.

The Comparative Law Discussion Group group meet a few times a term to discuss comparative research and methodology. This year the group is expanding a little to welcome LL.M.s and particularly interested undergraduates in addition to the Ph.D students and faculty members who attend. It is not a teaching forum, its focus is on substantive research and research methodology. There are substantive presentations at points in the year, led by established academics, but for the rest of the year everyone is encouraged to present comparative work in progress and discuss it with the group. All are welcome here is no need to book. For more information or to offer a paper contact Dr Matt Dyson on mnd21@cam.ac.uk.
