This two-day, in person conference is dedicated to exploring the many ways that Jews live and have lived law in the modern era, asking how Jewish actors have experienced legal pluralism, actively shaped different legal regimes, and understood the role of law in constructing state and non-state forms of sovereignty. It will also discuss living law as a component of evolving practices of Jewish law and a bone of contention in American judicial politics. Side by side with various forms of living law, this conference also addresses, from a number of disciplinary perspectives, “lived law” and attempts to replace it with other forms of Jewish or secular self-expression and self-regulation.
