The Legal Philosophy Workshop (LPW) is an annual conference designed to foster reflection on the nature of law and the philosophical issues underlying its different areas. Our aim is to promote work that connects legal philosophy with other branches of philosophy (e.g. moral and political philosophy, metaphysics, philosophy of language, epistemology, or philosophy of action) and to create a venue for the critical examination of different viewpoints about law.

The LPW is an annual, read-ahead, event, hosted in venues alternating between North America and Europe. Previous workshops have been hosted by the University of Michigan,  Trinity College Dublin, the University of Pennsylvania, University of Edinburgh, Queens University, University College London, Rutgers University, University of Surrey, and the University of Southern California. 

LPW 2025 will be hosted on June 30-July 1 at the University of Amsterdam. The deadline for expressions of interest to present or comment  is March 1, 2025; you can find the call for abstracts here.
