The International Association of IT Lawyers (IAITL) invites you to participate in the 1st International Conference on Private Law (IPL).

We invite contributions focusing on private law including but not limited to:

The conference committee is seeking submissions of papers for oral presentations at the conference in three major categories:

- Academic, peer reviewed papers - these papers will be peer reviewed by members of the program committee and other independent reviewers (where necessary) and will be published in the edited conference proceedings with ISBN. All papers will also be published in several leading international journals. Case studies, abstracts of research in progress, as well as full research papers will be considered for the conference program for presentation purposes. However, only complete papers will be published in the proceedings. Previously published peer-reviewed papers will also be considered, provided the authors (s) are granted license from the publisher and publication information are noted in the article.

- Presentations based on a short abstract & non-academic papers - these papers will not be peer reviewed. These papers will be selected on merit by the program committee. This category covers corporate papers, best practices, new technologies, policy issues etc.

For complete papers, authors must provide about 150 word abstract and five keywords. There is a word limit of maximum page limit of 15 pages (single-spaced, Times Roman”10” or approximately 7000 words including references using the Conference template). All photos, tables and figures must be in jpg format. Papers must be submitted in the correct template, which may be downloaded from the website.

All information enabling the identification of authors must be removed from submissions undergoing academic peer review. Please send in a separate attachment in a word document, the following information: Title, Affiliation and Author’s Name.

All papers will be proof read and published in paperback edition (with ISBN) and in international journals. Elsevier Publishing (Computer Law and Security Review), International Journal of Private Law  (Inderscience) and the Journal of International Commercial Law and Technology (doaj-access and EBSCOHOST) are  sponsoring the Best Academic Papers awards.
