The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review will present its 2008 symposium, Judging the Selection Process: The Merits of the Election System for State Judges, on April 18.
Among other issues, we hope to explore the advantages and disadvantages of Arkansas’s election system for state judges, as well as examine recent movements in other states to change its method of selecting judges. Although judicial selection is a perennially hot topic, it has become increasingly debated as states adjust their judicial canons to conform with the Supreme Court’s 2002 ruling in Republican Party of Minnesota v. White (holding that the announce clause in Minnesota’s Code of Judicial Conduct, which prohibited judicial candidates from stating their views on disputed legal or political issues, violated the first amendment freedom of speech).

The Connecticut Law Review will host a symposium, The Subprime Crisis: Moving Forward, at the University of Connecticut School of Law.
The standard subprime conference focuses on yesterday’s issues – i.e., definitions of subprime loans and why the subprime crisis happened. In this conference, in contrast, we will focus on the challenges that lie before us. It came as a shock to policymakers around the world that this seemingly obscure corner of the U.S. consumer credit market morphed into global contagion. Similarly, the United States is groping toward solutions to revive the credit markets and resolve millions of foreclosures. Necessarily, the symposium will be interdisciplinary in nature, involving the intersection of economics, finance, and law.
Symposium editors are John Herrington (john.herrington[at]huskymail.uconn.edu) and Kathryn Foley (kfoley5385[at]gmail.com).
