Canadian Conerence on Elder Law

Call for Papers Deadline Extended!

2010 Canadian Conference on Elder Law
October 28-30, 2010
Delta Chelsea Hotel, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

In conjunction with the Law Commission of Ontario, the Canadian Centre for Elder Law announces its 5th annual Canadian (International) Conference on Elder Law issues

Developing an Anti-Ageist Approach to the Law

Due to numerous requests, the deadline for submissions of abstracts for the 2010 Canadian Conference on Elder Law has been extended. The deadline for submissions is now Friday, July 16th.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Developing an Anti-Ageist Approach to the Law.” The conference will explore issues of elder rights, ageism and the law, access to justice, and law reform for older persons. While submissions related to the theme of the conference as described are encouraged, this call for abstracts embraces a broad variety of socio-legal topics related to law and aging that do not specifically deal with these issues.

The focus of this conference is law, but interdisciplinary abstracts are welcome for its workshops, panels or symposia.

Completed papers should be journal length (approximately 15 – 40 pages double-spaced). Written materials for all presentations must be submitted by Friday, October 1, 2010.
