FORTHCOMING ANDREAS LOWENFELD / CONFLICT OF LAWS / TRANSNATIONAL LITIGATION CONFERENCE
Please mark your calendars and save the dates—April 16-18th, 2009—for two special events at New York University School of Law. On April 16th, a day-long conference in tribute to the career of Professor Andreas Lowenfeld will feature judges, scholars, and practitioners whose own work has been influenced by Professor Lowenfeld. Among the invited speakers are Judge Thomas Buergenthal of the International Court of Justice, Justice Lawrence Collins (of the English Court of Appeal), Professor Jose Alvarez, Professor Robert Howse, Professor Eleanor Fox, Professor George Bermann, Professor Mario Giovanoli, Professor Catherine Kessedjian, former ALI President Michael Traynor and arbitration experts Gary Born and Albert van den Berg. Additional invitations are in progress.
On April 17-18, 2009, New York University will be hosting the bi-annual conference of the Journal of Private International Law – the first English language journal devoted exclusively to Private International Law. The first two conferences of the Journal were held in Scotland and England respectively, and this conference will be the first on this side of the Atlantic.
These two events offer a unique opportunity to bring together judges, scholars, and practitioners in the field of private international law. Topics of the conference will include such issues as 1) ethical aspects of doing cross-border business 2) autonomous interpretations of treaties such as the CISG 3) anti-suit injunctions in arbitration and litigation and 4) the desirability of having a new Restatement Third in Conflict of Laws in light of the European initiatives of the Rome I and II Regulations. A special feature of the conference this year will be a pre-conference event on the morning of April 17th where a “call for papers” will feature the scholarship of young academics and Phd students from around the world. The full conference will begin on the afternoon of the 17th with a panel on commercial law issues; on the 18th there will be two panels – one that considers the desirability of a Third Restatement on Conflict of Laws and a second that features developments in the area of transnational litigation and arbitration. On the evening of the 17th there will be a dinner for all conference attendees.
The Journal is still in the process of formulating the panels and inviting speakers and commentators, though we already have a number of committed participants, including Professor Ronald Brand, Professor Marco Torsello, Professor Ingeborg Schwenzer, Dean Symeon Symeonides, Professor Katharina Boele-Woelki, Professor Francisco J. Garcimartin Alferez,Professor Paul Beaumont, Professor Franco Ferrari, and Justice Lawrence Collins (Court of Appeal, England). Additional invitations will be made in the weeks ahead.
Further details about the conference will be forthcoming along with information about hotel accommodations in New York. For the moment, we just want you to save the date for this very special set of events.

The Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics, and Public Policy continues to consider papers for symposium issues on Immigration and on The Environment. Both issues will be published early next spring.
The Journal welcomes articles and essays addressing any issues within the upcoming topic areas. The Journal seeks as rich a dialogue as possible on these important topics, and therefore encourages articles not only from law professors but also from legal practitioners, politicians, political scientists, clerics, and other sundry philosopher-kings. The Journal places a strong emphasis on articles and essays that are morally serious, passionately argued, and well written. Submissions may be as long as truly necessary (up to 30,000 words, text and footnotes), but should be as short as possible.
Submissions should be emailed to ndjlepp [at] nd.edu. Submissions will be reviewed for possible publication until December 15. Any questions should be directed to Noah J. Stanzione, the current Editor-in-Chief, at stanzione.1 [at] nd.edu.
