The oral presentation at a CEENJ conference is to be accompanied by a projection of the full text or a power point of the presentation. 

Contributions to the whole gamut of jurisprudential issues, from legal philosophy and analytical legal theory to social theories of law, are welcome. Dogmatic (doctrinal) and empirical (historical, sociological, economic, etc.) studies of law with a strong conceptual content are also acceptable.
