The High Tech Law Institute of Santa Clara University School of Law and the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology of UC Berkeley School of Law present a Conference on the 100th Anniversary of the 1909 Copyright Act on April 30, 2009.
The 1909 Copyright Act marked a revolution in U.S. copyright law. The 1909 Act was the first to protect works upon publication with notice, without prior registration; the first to expressly recognize a right to prepare derivative works; and the first to expressly recognize the public domain. The 1909 Act remained in effect for seven decades, during which time copyright law was repeatedly called upon to deal with the disruptive effect of new technologies, such as motion pictures, sound recordings, radio and television, photocopy machines, and computers. As a result, the 1909 Act had a significant influence on the copyright law we have today.
Join two dozen distinguished scholars and practitioners to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the 1909 Act and its profound effect on U.S. and international copyright law. Attendance is free and open to the public.

The Australian Feminist Law Journal is seeking articles for publication for the next General Issue of the Journal, Volume 30, June 2009. The Journal seeks to focus upon scholarly research using critical, feminist approaches to law and justice, broadly conceived. Articles may range from longer, academic pieces from a critical, feminist perspective (which will be refereed) to shorter pieces on issues confronting men and women in their interactions with the law.
The length of an article is variable, but normally ranges from 8000 to 12,000 words. The editors particularly wish to encourage interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary writing focusing on law. Early submission for Volume 30 before the deadline of March 31 is welcomed.

The Fordham Law Review presents Against Settlement: Twenty-Five Years Later April 3, 2009.
In 1984, Owen Fiss provocatively argued that the ADR movement overvalued settlement, that adjudication serves a purpose greater than dispute resolution, and that “[c]ivil litigation is an instrument for using state power to bring a recalcitrant reality closer to our chosen ideals.” Against Settlement, 93 Yale L.J. 1073 (1984). What do we make of his arguments twenty-five years later? In the intervening years, the dispute resolution field has matured, public interest lawyering has changed, aggregate litigation has grown with comprehensive resolution as an expected endgame, and global perspectives on litigation have become more prominent, shedding new light on the arguments Fiss raised.
The Fordham Law Review has assembled a remarkable group – many of the nation’s leading voices in ADR, complex litigation, and public interest lawyering – for a one-day symposium to reconsider questions of settlement and adjudication in civil litigation.
The symposium is co-sponsored by the Fordham Conflict Resolution and ADR Program.

Georgetown Law Library and Georgetown Law host The Future of Today’s Legal Scholarship: A Symposium in Honor of Bob Oakley, July 25, 2009.
The time to debate the role of blogs in legal scholarship has passed. As we approach the end of the first decade of the 21st century, one of our oldest and most conservative disciplines has clearly embraced the era of electronic publishing. Blogging has indeed transformed legal scholarship. Now it’s time to move the dialogue forward.
The Future of Today’s Legal Scholarship is a symposium that brings together academic bloggers, law librarians, and experts in preservation to tackle the bigger, more imperative challenges that will influence legal scholarship and democratic access to legal information for generations to come.
We must determine how to prioritize, collect, archive, preserve, and ensure reliable long-term access to the burgeoning amount of legal scholarship being published through new, informal channels on the Web.
The Future of Today’s Legal Scholarship aims to accomplish this objective through non-conventional means. This symposium is an active, idea-based exchange inviting the participation and contribution of attendees alongside that of expert presenters and panelists.
This unique symposium will seek answers to the questions:
1. How can quality academic scholarship reliably be discovered?
2. How can future researchers be assured of perpetual access to the information currently available in blogs?
3. How can any researcher be confident that documents posted to blogs are genuine?
The symposium will include a working group break-out session to create a uniform standard for preservation of blogs, a document to be shared by bloggers and librarians alike.
