The 2016 LARSN Conference will form part the Cardiff Festival of Law and Religion. The Festival will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the LLM in Canon Law at Cardiff University, the first degree of its type in a British University since the Reformation. A number of events will be held to reflect upon how the study of Law and Religion has developed over the last twenty-five years and the likely future trajectory. This will include the launch of F Cranmer, M Hill, C Kenny and R Sandberg (ed) The Confluence of Law and Religion: Interdisciplinary Reflections on the Work of Norman Doe (Cambridge University Press, 2016).

The registration fee for the conference will be £20.00 for one day or £30.00 for both days.
