The conference is the third in a series of biennial programs organized by the Center on subjects relating to the brain and the law.

Call for Papers: Legal Visual Semiotics
Call for contributions for two-volume Treatise on Legal Visual Semiotics, Anne Wagner, Sophie Cacciaguidi-Fahy and Richard Sherwin, eds.
The overall aim of the proposed two volumes is to fill the gap between law, semiotics and visuality. As an original
project, its aim is to provide a comprehensive analytical overview of legal visual semiotics. The two volumes will endeavor to adopt a comparative perspective with a view to identifying a common ground for semiotics analyses of the converging and/or merging aspects of law and the visual.
Contributions should reflect the interdisciplinary nature of legal semiotics research. They should focus on:
- Theories and conceptualization of legal visual semiotics
- Pictorial semiotics and law
- Visuality of legal language
- Media and the law
Expression of interest should be addressed by e-mail to: valwagnerfr@yahoo.com. Abstracts should be submitted by February 15, 2009.
Full details available at SSRN.

Symposium: The Boundaries of Intellectual Property – Williamsburg, VA
| February 6, 2009 | to | February 7, 2009 |
The William and Mary Law Review presents a symposium, The Boundaries of Intellectual Property, on February 6-7, 2009. This symposium addresses the question of the proper goals of IP law and whether the scope of our current system aligns with those goals.
As the scope of intellectual property law continues to expand, courts and scholars are increasingly confronting the question of the law’s proper boundaries. Is it appropriate, for example, for content owners to use copyright law to silence unflattering speech? Are countries’ trademark laws, which have historically been geographically limited, now essentially global trademark laws given the use of marks over the Internet? Is it consistent with the goals of patent law for the U.S. government, through the Patent and Trademark Office, to define the boundaries of what is patentable based on moral or other non-innovation-related criteria? Although such questions have been the topic of debate in the past, there has not yet been an attempt to take a systemic, unifying approach to the question of boundaries in IP law. This symposium will provide the opportunity for participants to do just that, yielding new scholarship that directly addresses the question of the proper goals of IP law and whether the scope of our current system aligns with those goals.

Frontiers in Social Justice Lawyering: Critical Race Revisited
| April 16, 2009 | to | April 17, 2009 |
Yale Law School presents Frontiers in Social Justice Lawyering: Critical Race Revisited on April 16-17, 2009.
In 1997, Yale Law School held a conference on Critical Race Theory (CRT) with some of the founding members of that discipline. Twelve years later, this conference on Critical Race Theory intends to look at the developments in CRT as an academic discipline and its ability to respond to new voices, contemporary issues, and emergent social movements. The conference in 2009 is an opportunity to reflect on the current status of CRT and what it offers to the development of conscientious, public interest advocacy.
Practically, the conference aims to bridge the gap between the practice of civil rights law and the insights of Critical Race Theory. Panelists will analyze the way in which legal claims are structured by available identity narratives, and role of the law in constituting and perpetuating fixed ideas of race, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender. The panels will address challenges facing civil rights practitioners: in particular, the simultaneous demands of zealous client advocacy on the one hand, and awareness of the complexity and multidimensionality of individual identity on the other.
For complete information, see the conference website. Free online registration is now available.
