Canadian COMPETITION LAW

News and upcoming events from our friends at the Canadian Council on International Law (CCIL) in Ottawa:

“Mini-Conference”.  Montreal, March 8, 2012.  In celebration of, and cooperation with, the Canadian round of the Jessup, the CCIL is holding a mini-conference in Montreal, integrated with the Jessup competition.  This conference is free to CCIL members, and those who become CCIL members between now and then.  (If you attended the November conference, you are a member.  If not, please follow the link below to find out more about becoming a member.)  The conference will address themes drawn from this year’s Jessup problem and from both the CCIL 2011 conference (culture and international law) and the 2012 conference (international law and crises and emergencies).  For more see: CCIL – Mini-conference

2012 Annual Conference.  Save the Date!  The 2012 CCIL Annual Conference will be held on November 8-10, 2012 in Ottawa.  The theme is International Law and Crises and Emergencies.  More details and a call for papers will follow in a few weeks.  We look forward to welcoming Philippe Sands as one of our keynote presenters.

The “Four Societies”.  The CCIL in association with its American, Japanese and Australian/New Zealand counterparts has issued a call for papers for the next “Four Societies” workshop, scheduled for California in September 2012.  Responses to the call are due on March 1, 2012.  For more see: CCIL – Call for Papers – “International Law and Disasters” – The Fourth International “Fostering a Scholarly Network” Four Societies Conference

The CCIL Review.  We are pleased to announce the “rolling start” or a new “blournal” – a combination of a blog and a journal.  We have a number of articles that have now been posted.  Students have crafted these as part of directed research projects.  We welcome more contributions!  If you have students who you are willing to supervise for the purposes of producing new articles, please let me know.  (And yes, there is a readership – we have even received press inquiries in response to some of the articles).  For more see: CCIL – CCIL Review

The Veteran’s Scholarship.  The CCIL is fundraising for a new scholarship.  The CCIL Veterans Scholarship will provide tuition support to a Canadian Forces veteran with an interest in international humanitarian law entering or pursuing legal studies at the JD or LL.B. level in a Canadian law school.  As president of the CCIL, I am actively fundraising in support of this scholarship along with some former students who are now practicing law.  To this end, we are completing a series of endurance sporting events through 2012.  (Tomorrow, I lace on skates, skis and shoes, in that order, for the first one.)  You can find our more here: CCIL Veterans Scholarship.  We would be very grateful if you would please consider supporting this initiative.  Donations can be made on-line through CanadaHelps (again, follow the link above).  Moreover, our team — Citizen Athlete — is looking for more members willing to make this their fundraising goal for 2012.  Please contact me if you are interested.
