Have an idea that relates to law's action-guiding character? Submit to our CFA for Spring 2027 Collective Discussions Series!

Edited text of poster:
You are 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.
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. 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 positions such as constitutivism, moral realism, internalism or externalism illuminate law's practical reason? j) In which way do new insights on the philosophy of language iluminate law's normativity?

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.
