[Version française ci-dessous] Annual Meeting Change of venue to UQAM: New Update regarding the strike at Faculty of Law, McGill University, and Congress CLSA was planning to hold its annual conference at McGill during Congress 2024. We have been working with the McGill Faculty of Law and McGill Law professors since last summer. The Association of McGill Professors of Law (AMPL) is currently on strike. We repeatedly informed Congress Organizers that under no circumstances could we cross a picket line and that many of those participating in our conference are not in a position to legally access our original venue. Congress Organizers notified us yesterday (May 9) that “given your membership is composed of McGill law faculty who, during the AMPL strike, cannot legally enter McGill campus buildings, we agree that we are not able to fulfil our commitment to provide CLSA with a space for its conference at McGill”. In order to maintain the 2024 CLSA Annual Meeting from June 15 to 17 we will have to change venue from McGill to UQAM (about 2 km from McGill Law). We are very happy to announce that UQAM Faculté de science politique et de droit and their Département des sciences juridiques will be able to receive us in such short notice, and in solidarity with us and with McGill Law professors. We continue to do our best to keep our Annual Meeting as scheduled so as not to affect the ongoing travel arrangements of participants. We will post an updated version of our program reflecting such changes and will post updates as more information is available.

Rencontre annuelle 2024 Changement de lieu à l'UQAM : Nouvelle mise à jour concernant la grève à la Faculté de droit de l'Université McGill et le Congrès de la Fédération de sciences humaines (Congrès). L'ACDS prévoyait tenir sa conférence annuelle à McGill pendant le Congrès 2024. Depuis l'été dernier, nous collaborons étroitement avec la Faculté de droit de McGill ainsi qu'avec ses professeurs. Cependant, en raison de la grève actuelle de l'Association des professeurs de droit de McGill (AMPD), nous avons réitéré à plusieurs reprises aux organisateurs du Congrès notre incapacité à franchir la ligne piquetage. De plus, de nombreux participants à notre conférence ne seraient pas en mesure d'accéder légalement au lieu initial de l'événement. Les organisateurs de Congrès nous ont notifié hier (9 mai) que « étant donné que vos membres sont des professeurs de droit de McGill qui, pendant la grève de l'AMPD, ne peuvent pas légalement entrer dans les bâtiments du campus de McGill, nous reconnaissons que nous ne sommes pas en mesure de respecter notre engagement de fournir à l'ACDS un espace pour sa conférence à McGill » (traduit de l’anglais). Afin de maintenir la Rencontre annuelle de l'ACDS 2024 du 15 au 17 juin, nous devrons changer de lieu, passant de McGill à l'UQAM (à environ 2 km de la faculté de droit de McGill). Nous sommes ravis d'annoncer que la Faculté de science politique et de droit de l'UQAM, ainsi que son Département des sciences juridiques, ont généreusement accepté de nous accueillir dans un délai aussi court, démontrant ainsi leur solidarité envers nous et les professeurs de droit de McGill. Nous nous efforçons toujours de maintenir notre rencontre annuelle selon le calendrier prévu afin de ne pas perturber les arrangements de voyage en cours de nos participants. Nous publierons une version mise à jour de notre programme en ligne pour refléter ces changements et fournirons des mises à jour au fur et à mesure que de nouvelles informations seront disponibles.
