DESCRIPTION:La Faculté de droit accueille la professeure Cally Jordan\, LLB
 '77\, BCL'80\, Melbourne Law School (Australie)\, qui parlera des normes f
 inancières internationales face aux forces normatives des marchés et d'une
  lex mercatoria non codifiée.\nRésumé\n(En anglais seulement) In the last 
 15 years\, international financial standards have surged to prominence in 
 the wake of crises\, but the standards\, and the ‘soft law’ discourse whic
 h supports them\, are both problematic.\nConceptual difficulties underlie 
 the “soft law” discourse\, revealing profoundly different patterns of lega
 l thought that cut across national boundaries. The result is different und
 erstandings of international financial standards\, and largely unsatisfact
 ory results. Finally\, international financial standards appear strangely 
 remote from the daily grind of international commercial practice\, where t
 hey are largely unknown. But perhaps in this disconnect lies clues to impo
 rtant normative forces at work in international finance\, and in particula
 r the international capital markets.\nThe proposition put forward here is 
 that the formal regulation of financial markets is supported by a body of 
 strong and persistent customary law\, a lex mercatoria\, a rarely acknowle
 dged but powerful undercurrent in finance\, especially in its internationa
 l iteration.\nIs it possible that the global financial crisis represented 
 not only a failure of formal\, state-led regulation\, as it surely did\, b
 ut also a breakdown of a lex mercatoria of finance? If that is the case\, 
 international standard setters and national regulators ignore this lex mer
 catoria at their peril. To do so\, would be to miss a true\, powerful\, so
 urce of normativity operating in international financial markets.\nLa conf
 érencière\n(En anglais seulement) Cally Jordan\, LLB'77\, BCL'80\, has spe
 nt over fifteen years with the World Bank\, both as a consultant and as a 
 full-time advisor\, on commercial\, financial\, corporate governance and c
