In a slight break from our usual style and approach, and to celebrate the great success of the 2011 Critical Legal Conference (organized by the Departments of Law and International Politics at the University of Aberystwyth), criticallegalthinking.com will be posting a number of the papers presented. We hope those of you who could not make it will enjoy the flavour of Being Before the Law.

As ever, those who wish to put their papers or other critical legal or political theory on criticallegalthinking.com, are more than welcome. Please email us through the usual channels.
