Edited text of poster:
COLLECTIVE DISCUSSIONS ON NORMATIVITY, PRACTICAL REASON AND LAW
You are cordially invited to submit a 1,000 word anonymized abstract on the theme 'Normativity, Practical Reason and Law' by 30th October, 2026. Please send the abstract as a Word of PDF attachment to: bbl@ncsu.edu. Include your name, affiliation, and position in the
body of the email. Subject heading of email: Collective Discussions Spring 2027. The best three abstracts will be selected by the Executive Committee of the Women in Legal Philosophy group. Decisions will be announced in the first week of December. For authors whose
submissions are selected, final papers will be due three weeks prior to the scheduled decision.
There will be a separate interactive online session in the spring of 2027 for each selected paper.
The dates will be arranged by mutual agreement, and the discussion will be open to the public. Theme for the Spring of 2027: The character of normative and motivational reasons is key to understanding several fundamental questions in relation to law, from authority to promises and
the nature of legal guidance. Questions to be addressed include, but are not limited to: a) How shall we conceive the connection between normative and motivational reasons in the
context of the law?
b) Is the law's guidance determined by the citizen's structure of practical reason? c) How should we rethink the idea of coercion or duress in the law in light of practical reasons in
private law? d) Is there a conceptual space to establish a fundamental link between virtue and practical
reason in the context of the law?
e) Shall we re-articulate the relationship between legal and moral reasoning? f) Can political epistemology and/or moral epistemology illuminate key aspects of practical
reason in the law?
g) How should we formulate institutional virtue in light of citizens' practical reason?
h) Do our assumptions on human action determine our theories of law's normativity? i) Do meta-ethical…

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
