Update and Reminder: Legal Education at the Crossroads – Seattle
I posted information about this conference in February. Now I have new links to add, as well as a reminder: The call for proposals deadline (May 15) is approaching. Get your proposals in: the organizers look forward to reviewing them!
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. See the request for proposals here.
For further information, you may contact Debbie Maranville (206.685.6803, maran[at]u.washington.edu) or Michael Hunter Schwartz (785-670-1666).

| July 1, 2008 |
Entries will be accepted through July 1, 2008, for the 2008 Chicago-Kent College of Law / Roy C. Palmer Civil Liberties Prize.
Established in 2007 at Chicago-Kent College of Law by alumnus Roy C. Palmer and his wife, Susan M. Palmer, the prize honors a work of scholarship that explores the tension between civil liberties and national security in contemporary American society. The $10,000 prize is designed to encourage and reward public debate among scholars on current issues affecting the rights of individuals and the responsibilities of governments throughout the world.
Articles or books submitted to the competition must be in draft form or have been published within the six months prior to the July 1 deadline. As a condition of accepting the award, the winner will present his or her work at Chicago-Kent. Eligible books and articles should be submitted to Tasha Kincade, assistant to Dean Harold J. Krent, at tkincade[at]kentlaw.edu or 565 West Adams Street, Chicago, IL 60661-3691.
The 2007 prize was awarded to constitutional scholars David D. Cole and Jules L. Lobel for their book Less Safe, Less Free: Why America Is Losing the War on Terror (The New Press). The award-winning book is a critical analysis of the civil liberties and geopolitical implications of the Bush administration’s “war on terror” and self-described “paradigm of prevention” with respect to terrorism.
Roy Palmer, a lawyer and real estate developer, is a 1962 honors graduate of Chicago-Kent and a member of its board of overseers. He and his wife, Susan, active in numerous civic, social and philanthropic organizations, are the recipients of the
1997 Outstanding Individual Philanthropist Award of the National Society of Fundraising Executives.

advancing and influencing legal thought through public programs, endowed lecture series, and faculty scholarship.

The Fifth Amendment mandates that government may not take private property for public use without payment of just compensation.

Explain why the “givings” rationale is inconsistent with the purpose and function of the Takings Clause.

As with the 2007 event, researchers, data providers, and policy analysts will be invited. The Symposium will be held in November 2008 in Washington, DC.
