Hurst Summer Institute in Legal History – Madison, WI
| June 14, 2009 | to | June 27, 2009 |
The J. Willard Hurst Summer Institute in Legal History is sponsored by the Institute for Legal Studies in conjunction with the American Society for Legal History (ASLH). Each Institute is organized and chaired by a well-known legal historian and includes visiting senior scholars who lead specialized sessions. While sessions have been held biennially, it is possible the Institute will move to a three year cycle.
For each Hurst Institute, a committee appointed by the ASLH reviewed applications from beginning faculty members, doctoral students with completed or almost completed dissertations, and recent J.D. graduates, and selected 12 junior scholars from around the world as Institute Fellows. The Fellows came to Madison for two weeks to participate in seminars, meet other legal historians, and discuss their own work.
The Next Hurst Institute: June 14-27, 2009. We are pleased that Barbara Welke, Associate Professor of History and Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota will chair the Hurst Summer Institute again in 2009. Guest scholars will be named at a later date. The two-week program is structured but informal, and features discussions of core readings in legal history and analysis of the work of the participants in the Institute. Applications will be accepted in Fall 2008 when more complete information will be posted.
Update (Sept. 1): Applications will be accepted Dec. 1, 2008 – Jan. 15, 2009.

Speech and Silence in American Law – Tuscaloosa, AL
| February 27, 2009 |
As part of a series on Law, Knowledge & Imagination, the University of Alabama School of Law presents Speech and Silence in American Law, Feb. 27, 2009.
This symposium will study the relationship between speech and silence in American law. We will examine how the law values silence, focusing on the right not to speak, as well as the decision not to select a speaker, in both private and government discourse.
We will analyze compelled speech, in contexts ranging from the flag salute to the Solomon Amendment cases, as well as instances where individuals are forced to be identified with a particular message.
In the aftermath of 9/11, we were reminded that speech alone may be troubling or dangerous. For some, the continuing threat of terrorism requires new attitudes toward speech. Others believe we can strike a better balance between freedom and security.

Sovereignty, Emergency, and Legality – Tuscaloosa, AL
| October 17, 2008 |
As part of a series on Law, Knowledge & Imagination, the University of Alabama School of Law hosts Sovereignty, Emergency, and Legality, Oct. 17, 2008.
The purpose of this symposium is to chart the complex interplay of sovereignty, emergency, and legality and to ask what we can learn about each by examining their juxtaposition. For some scholars, sovereignty is only truly knowable in times of emergency, moments when the law is suspended, put on hold. Others believe that sovereign power is more malleable, less absolute, adaptable to constitutional democracy. For these scholars, sovereign power can and does operate in and through law and law, in turn, can be used to domesticate and direct that power.
While in the United States today many have turned their attention to sovereignty, emergency, and legality, we want to use this symposium not just to take up today’s pressing issues, but also to revisit moments in our past–e.g…. the internment of Japanese- Americans and the Supreme Court’s Korematsu decision, the civil rights movement and the decisions in Cooper v. Aaron and Walker v. Birmingham–and to use these moments to frame the history of the present. We also want to turn our attention to the experience of other nations–e.g…. the British in Northern Ireland, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, etc.

Conflict and Transitional Justice: Feminist Approaches
| September 19, 2008 | to | September 20, 2008 |
Emory Law School presents Conflict and Transitional Justice: Feminist Approaches September 19-20, 2008.
Truth Commissions and other forms of transitional justice have become ubiquitous as a mechanism for societies emerging from long years of conflict to move into a post-conflict era. From South Africa to Liberia, from Greensville South Carolina, USA, to Northern Ireland, we see both formal and informal processes of transitional justice at work. However, rarely is the process critiqued through a feminist lens. Do these “traditional” forms of reconciliation help or hinder women’s position in societies from repression or conflict? This workshop asks how a focus on women’s security and women’s ideas about peace, justice and security might further the conversation about transitional justice, conflict and post-conflict societies.

Judicial Involvement in Education – Washington, DC
| October 15, 2008 |
The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research presents From Brown to “Bong Hits”: Assessing a Half-Century of Judicial Involvement in Education Wed. Oct. 15, 2008. The event is cosponsored by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.
The past fifty years have seen a striking rise in judicial supervision of education. From race to speech, from religion to school funding, from discipline to special education, few realms of education policy have escaped the courtroom. Predictably, much controversy has ensued. Supporters of education litigation contend that the courts are essential to secure student (and civil) rights and needs, while critics insist that the courts distort policy and that the mere threat of litigation undermines the authority of teachers and administrators.
Please join us at this landmark conference, where a distinguished cast of scholars and panelists will appraise the judiciary’s role in K–12 education and discuss the implications for policymakers, scholars, jurists, and education reformers.

Future of Federalism – Washington, DC
| September 12, 2008 |
AEI Legal Center for the Public Interest
The Future of Federalism
Cosponsored by Federalist Society
Friday, September 12, 2008, 9 a.m.–3:15 p.m.
Wohlstetter Conference Center, Twelfth Floor, AEI
1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036
The American system of federalism is at the heart of many disagreements over important constitutional and public policy issues. Changes in all three branches of government and recent Supreme Court decisions raise questions about the future scope of federal-state relationships: How should we balance state and federal rights? Should the courts take a more active role in limiting federal power, or should they instead leave the federal-state balance to the political process? Can we make better progress on these issues by allowing states to pursue their own policies independently? Or should the federal government take a more active role?
At this AEI event, cosponsored by the Chapman School of Law and the Federalist Society, scholars of differing points of view will address these questions and reflect on the future structure of American federalism. During the first panel, award-winning professor of courts and social policy Malcolm Feely, AEI’s Michael S. Greve, public and constitutional law professor Roderick Hills, and George Mason Law professor and coeditor of the Supreme Court Economic Review Ilya Somin will consider whether we should strive for a system in which states compete or cooperate with each other and with the federal government. Randy Barnett, author of Restoring the Lost Constitution, and constitutional law expert Jesse Choper will discuss the appropriate level of judicial review and the role of the judicial branch in adjudicating disputes over th e scope of federal and state power during the second panel. Panelists for the third discussion will examine the importance of federalism in two major public policy issues: health care and the environment. Judge William Pryor of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit will deliver a keynote address on the future of federalism.
There is no charge for the conference, but CLE credit will be available through the Federalist Society for $25.

The American system of federalism is at the heart of many disagreements over important constitutional and public policy issues. Changes in all three branches of government and recent Supreme Court decisions raise questions about the future scope of federal-state relationships: How should we balance state and federal rights? Should the courts take a more active role in limiting federal power, or should they instead leave the federal-state balance to the political process? Can we make better progress on these issues by allowing states to pursue their own policies independently? Or should the federal government take a more active role?
