New York City Law Review: A Call for Papers
The Legal System’s Response to Violence in New York CityThe New York City Law Review — a student-run law journal based out of the City University of New York School of Law – is currently seeking papers for our Spring 2009 symposium on the legal system’s response to violent behavior. With a particular emphasis on violent behavior within New York City, we will critically explore the increase in criminalization, mandatory arrests, and zero tolerance policies through four panels on the areas of domestic violence, sex offenses, juvenile justice, and police brutality. We will be highlighting progressive legal responses within the present legal system, as well as ideas for new responses both within and without the legal framework. The symposium will take place on February 13, 2009 at the Borough of Manhattan Community College. We are in the process of securing CLE credits.

If you are interested in submitting a paper, please email nyclawreviewsymposium [at] gmail.com by November 1, 2008 with your name, school or organizational affiliation, and an abstract of no more than 250 words describing your article. Selected authors may be invited to serve as panelists at the symposium. Selected articles will be published in the spring of 2009. All completed articles must be submitted by January 1, 2009.
