We are pleased to invite submissions for the 23rd annual conference of the German Law and Economics Association (GLEA), taking place on July 16–17, 2026 at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law in Freiburg, Germany.
The deadline for submissions has been extended to April 8. GLEA 2026 welcomes papers from all areas and methodological approaches in law and economics. We especially encourage submissions from legal scholars, criminologists, and early-career researchers at the PhD level, and we also invite panel proposals on law-and-policy topics.
The conference will also feature keynote presentations, including by Eberhard Feess. A special highlight of this year’s program is the pre-conference workshop on “LLMs for Large-Scale Data Collection” on July 15, 2026, taught by Felix Ringe.
We look forward to bringing together scholars across disciplines for lively discussion at the intersection of law and economics. Please see the Call for Papers (PDF version) for submission details and further information.
