The American Society of Comparative Law's 2019 annual program, which will be held at the University of Missouri, seeks to delve more deeply into how comparative law operates formally and informally, visibly and invisibly, publicly and privately, in cases involving cross-border dispute resolution.

The program includes two plenary sessions that are intended to provide an overview of comparative law in international dispute resolution as well as recommendations and forecasts for the future of the field.

ASCL is accepting proposals for concurrent panels and for a works in progress conference until May 20, 2019. Conference papers will be published in the Journal of Dispute Resolution.

The event is open to ASCL and non-ASCL members.
