The 2010 Central States Law School Association (CSLSA) Annual Conference will be held Sept. 24 -25, 2010, at the University of North Dakota School of Law. Abstracts are due by Aug. 31, 2010.
The purpose of CSLSA is to foster scholarly exchanges among law faculty across legal disciplines. The annual CSLSA conference is a forum for legal scholars, especially more junior scholars, to present working papers or finished articles on any law-related topic in a relaxed and supportive setting where junior and senior scholars from various disciplines are available to comment. More mature scholars have an opportunity to test new ideas in a less formal setting than is generally available for their work.
Althought CSLSA is a regional association, faculty from around the U.S. are encouraged to participate.

The editors of the Socio-Legal Review invite submissions by students and scholars.
The Journal subscribes to an expansive view on the interpretation of “law and society” thereby keeping its basic criteria for contributions simply that of high academic merit, as long as there is a perceivable link. This would include not just writing about the role played by law in social change, or the role played by social dynamics in the formulation and implementation of law, but also writing that simply takes cognizance of legal institutions/ institutions of governance/ administration, power structures in social commentary and so on. Through this effort, the journal also hopes to fill the lacunae relating to academic debate on socio-legal matters among law students.
The deadline for submission for volume 7 (2011) is Nov. 30, 2010.

The editors of the Pace Law Review invite proposals from scholars, researchers, practitioners, and professionals for contributions to our third annual issue on New York law, slated for publication in Spring 2011.
In the past, this book has examined a wide range of topics in New York law, including education, immigration, land use, and criminal procedure. Next year will mark the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks. We encourage authors to consider how the events of 9/11 have affected the legal landscape in New York State. For example, articles may address how 9/11 has influenced privacy, mass-tort, local security, health, and administrative law. Additionally, we encourage authors to consider proposals on other recent developments in New York law, unrelated to 9/11, and what they mean for our State.
Please submit proposals of no more than 500 words to plr [at] law.pace.edu by September 1, 2010. We welcome proposals for articles, essays, and book reviews. All proposals should include the author’s name, title, institutional affiliation, contact information, and should concern issues related to the subject-matter described above. Book review proposals should also include: (a) the title and publication date of the book proposed for review; (b) a description of the importance of the book to the general topic; and (c) any other information relevant to the book or proposed review (e.g. the reviewer’s expertise or any relationship with the author). Authors are also welcome, but not required, to submit a CV. We expect to make publication offers by September 15, 2010. Completed manuscripts will be due November 1, 2010.
Best regards,
