The Philosophy & Legal Theory Collaborative is an association of academics in philosophy, legal theory, socio-legal studies and related humanities and social sciences. We host workshops and conferences on philosophy and legal theory, both independently, and under the auspices of the Law & Society Association.

The scope of work presented at our events is broad. It includes scholarship on analytic jurisprudence and philosophical work on legal specific legal questions. Our events also include work on moral philosophy, political philosophy, political theory, social epistemology, social ontology, moral psychology, metaethics, philosophy of action, decision theory, and history of thought on topics relevant to law or socio-legal topics. 
Finally, our events include socio-legal scholarship that draw from work in philosophy, or that employ philosophical methods.

We hope to spark philosophically informed conversations on questions in law, politics and society concerning both foundational and specific questions. These questions can range from classic debates in analytic jurisprudence, such as the relationship between legality and morality, to scholarship applying contemporary social ontology literature to doctrinal questions in contract law, and everything in between.
