As part of its commitment to exploring the continuing relevance of Catholic Social Thought to the law, the Journal of Catholic Social Thought, a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal jointly published by the School of Law and the Office of Mission Effectiveness, invites those interested to submit proposals for papers to be presented on the following theme:

PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF SUBSIDIARITY:
What Does Law Have to Learn From the Catholic Concept of Subsidiarity?
Contributors are encouraged to explore

• The nature of the Catholic concept of subsidiarity in relation to non-Catholic versions


• Contrasting ideological interpretations of subsidiarity 


• The relevance of the Catholic concept to both public law (i.e., federalism, international law) and private law (i.e., corporate law) 


• The broader jurisprudential implications of subsidiarity 


• Any other topics relevant to the theme

Paper proposals must be submitted no later than June 1, 2004.
Papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in volume 2 of the Journal of Catholic Social Thought.

The conference will be held at Villanova University, in Villanova, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia, on October 8, 2004.
