Concept

The second annual conference of the Käte Hamburger Kolleg “Legal Unity and Pluralism” is devoted to the question of how law has been standardized in different epochs and societies. Alongside prominent examples such as the late antique Corpus Iuris Civilis or the modern project of human rights, the lectures present lesser-known cases such as the handling of difference in Spanish colonial law or the customary law of indigenous groups in Ethiopia. The three conference sections “Legislation”, “Courts” and “Scholarship” mark the range of factors standardizing law.
