The aim is to examine the relationship between gender and law in and around the judicial arena, with contributions covering the entire judicial chain, from the initiation of proceedings to the enforcement of sentences. Different types of disputes can be examined, whether they are gendered from the outset, such as sexual violence or the consequences of divorce, or whether they appear, at least superficially, to be 'neutral': theft, political crimes and offences, taxation, prison disputes relating to the enforcement of sentences.... The biases of gender, race, class... or the intersectionality of these relations of power can be analysed in the practices of judicial actors, in the political and social orders given to them, or in the agentivity of those being tried.

Contributions are invited from the fields of law - history of law, positive law, philosophy/theory of law, sociology of law, etc. - political science and the humanities and social sciences in general - history, political science, philosophy, sociology, linguistics, psychology, ethnology, anthropology, literature (non-exhaustive list). 
The work of young researchers is particularly welcome.
