On March 28, 2008, the New England Journal on Criminal and Civil Confinement will host Iraq and Back: Legal Implications for Returning Soldiers.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are considered the most sustained combat operations since the Vietnam War, and there are heightened concerns for long term mental implications and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Because PTSD has consequently been linked to increases in criminal behavior, and at times this criminal behavior is directly connected to the trauma suffered, the legal system is facing new challenges in addressing how to best rehabilitate and sanction criminal offenders.
Paper submissions are still being accepted.

The University of Washington School of Law will host a small, working conference (about 40-60 participants), Legal Education at the Crossroads — Ideas to Accomplishments: Sharing New Ideas for an Integrated Curriculum, Sept. 5-7, 2008. The planning committee includes faculty from seven different law schools.
The conference responds to the suggestions in the Carnegie Report (Sullivan, et al., Educating Lawyers: Preparation for the Profession of Law (2007)) and supported by the recent study by Stuckey et al. (Best Practices for Legal Education (2007)).
While we will be championing existing transformative efforts, our principal goal is to help participants develop, expand, and assess projects anywhere along the spectrum between ideas and recently-initiated innovations. Consequently, while participants in the conference will gain a sense of what law schools are already doing to implement the Carnegie and CLEA Reports, participants’ primary benefit will be the opportunity to develop their own ideas as they share and explore those ideas in facilitated groups.
There will be no registration fee, and some meals will be provided. Participants will pay for their own transportation and hotel costs.
Requests to participate should be submitted by May 15, 2008. I will update this post to link to the full call for proposals when it is online (next week). maran@u.washington.edu
For further information, you may contact Debbie Maranville (206.685.6803, maran[at]u.washington.edu) or Michael Hunter Schwartz (785-670-1666).
UPDATE (May 9): The call for proposals is here. A press release is here.
