research students and early career researchers from all disciplines and across diverse fields of scholarship to critically engage with law and its theoretical and methodological questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:
Palatino">This year we explore how the challenge of ‘grounding’ law could offer a critical and political engagement with and responsibility for law. This is a different task to
legitimating or substantiating a new foundation, basis or ground for law. Deconstructive jurisprudence has exposed the constituted violence inherent in every asserted or disavowed ground of law. To ground, as a verb, could mean to connect something to the
ground – to the surface of the Earth, the terrain, the soil, the <i>humus</i>. It could mean to connect to the immediacy of the present moment through affect and the senses. Grounding law may be a process of finding law in, and making law more responsive to,
the question of particularity and immediacy, to the imperatives of being and dwelling.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
