We would like to thank the Law School and Professor Sinai Deutch, Law School Dean and Vice President of Netanya Academic College, for hosting and partially funding the conference.

Proposals for papers: Presenters may choose any topic within the rubric of Mishpat Ivri and Halakhic research and related fields. Proposals for papers should include the paper’s title, a short description of its contents (200 words maximum), and be accompanied by an updated C.V. Please transmit all this material to Dr. Yuval Sinai at the following e-mail address: sinayuva@netanya.ac.il no later than January 31st, 2010.

Conference papers are, in principle, to be given in English. As in the past, members who prefer to present in Hebrew are asked to prepare for distribution a translation of their paper into English.

The conference academic committee will review each proposal and its relevance to the conference. The committee is not obligated to accept any proposal. The conference academic committee consists of Dr. Yuval Sinai (Chairman), Prof. Joseph Fleishman, Prof. Berachyahu Lifshitz, Prof. Josef Rivlin, Prof. Elimelech Westreich, Dr. Israel Zvi Gilat, and Dr. Ron Kleinman.
