DESCRIPTION:La Faculté de droit vous convie à la conférence inaugurale de l
 a professeure Geneviève Saumier en tant que titulaire de la Chaire Peter M
 . Laing.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En anglais seul.] Party autonomy in private interna
 tional has been associated with the power granted to parties to choose the
  law applicable to international contracts and the forum for dispute resol
 ution. This license has been justified largely on the basis that it provid
 es the legal certainty essential to cross-border transactions\, allows for
  the designation of a neutral law or forum\, and is consistent with genera
 l principles of freedom of contract in domestic law. In recent years\, par
 ty autonomy has increasingly been spreading to personal matters\, for exam
 ple in relation to same-sex marriage or surrogacy\, where individuals choo
 se jurisdictions and laws that give them access to a particular status (sp
 ouse or parent) that would not be accessible to them in their home jurisdi
 ctions. While party autonomy in commercial matters is under fire as allowi
 ng parties to strategically select laws and forums that shield them from o
 therwise applicable regulatory regimes\, party autonomy in personal matter
 s is celebrated as a means to avoid restrictive State policies that infrin
 ge on fundamental rights and self-determination.  Regardless of whether on
 e views party autonomy as promise or peril\, its effect is to invite perso
 ns\, natural and legal\, to defy the territorial limitations of State law 
 in the pursuit of their own interests\, be they economic or personal. The 
 extent to which this needs to be balanced with other interests\, and wheth
 er this can or should occur within private international law\, is the subj
 ect of this lecture.\n\nÀ propos de la conférencière\n\nSpécialiste de dro
 it international privé\, la professeure Saumier entreprend aussi des reche
 rches en droit de la consommation\, en résolution des différends internati
 onaux et sur les recours collectifs transfrontaliers. Ses articles sur le 
 droit international privé et sur l’arbitrage de consommation ont été cités
  à plusieurs reprises par la Cour suprême du Canada. Au-delà de ces sujets
 \, son enseignement inclut également le droit de la responsabilité civile\
 , la médiation et la procédure civile.\n\nUn vin d'honneur suivra. Prière 
 de confirmer sa présence d'ici le 16 octobre 2017 en écrivant à alumnioffi
 ce.law [at] mcgill.ca (subject: RSVP%20Laing%20Chair%20Inaugural%20Lecture
 .) .\n\nUne demande d’accréditation a été déposée pour fins de formation c
 ontinue obligatoire pour juristes (1\,5h). \n
