Call for Papers and Conference: Christian Realism and Public Life – Minneapolis, MN
| July 1, 2009 | ||
| November 20, 2009 | to | November 21, 2009 |
The Terrence J. Murphy Institute for Catholic Thought, Law, and Public Policy at the University of St. Thomas will sponsor a conference titled “Christian Realism and Public Life: Catholic and Protestant Perspectives,” on November 20-21, 2009, at the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Minneapolis.
An examination of “realism” in religious and political thought is timely indeed. The term has been at the forefront of recent American foreign-policy debates over the role of moral values and the use of force. Pope Benedict XVI has spoken in several contexts of a “Christian realism” that offers a more sober and solid hope for social life than do alternative views. And President Obama has identified the Christian Realism of Reinhold Niebuhr as among his chief philosophical influences. Niebuhr’s approach was in several ways distinctively Protestant. But it is evident that the impulse for Christian public theology to be realistic—to be based in a clear-headed assessment of facts about God, human beings, and the world—cuts across Catholic and Protestant thinkers, although the themes and the definitions of realism vary.
The goal of the conference is to explore the role and meaning of “realism” in a Christian ethic of public life, with attention to topics and areas of law or public policy that are of interest to both Catholics and Protestants, and to ethicists, theologians, legal scholars, and political scientists among others. Committed plenary speakers include Jean Bethke Elshtain ( Chicago), Robin Lovin (Southern Methodist), John Carlson (Arizona State), and William Cavanaugh (St. Thomas), with other plenary invitations in process.
This call for papers is for concurrent sessions. Examples of relevant topics include:
- Theological assessments of human nature and its relevance to public policy
- Categorical approaches to moral reasoning vs. pragmatic approaches
- Loci of hope: for example, the extent to which it rests in the church or the world
- Assessments of Niebuhr or other thinkers who have emphasized realism
- The foundations or details of just-war thought
- Realism in Christian approaches to economic matters
- The place of Christianity in American public life
Abstracts of proposed papers should be one page and should include the author’s name, affiliation, mailing address, and e-mail address. The deadline for submission of proposals is Monday, June 15, 2009. Notification of acceptance will be mailed by July 1, 2009. Abstracts should be sent by e-mail to murphyinstit[at]stthomas.edu or by first-class mail to

Call for Papers Deadline: Accessing Justice in Hard Times
| June 1, 2009 |
Difficult economic times are upon us. As a result, both the public and private sectors have been forced to make difficult budgetary decisions. The effects of these decisions have reverberated throughout our nation. In response to this crisis and in an effort to illuminate the effects of this economic downturn upon Maine’s legal system and legal systems nationally, the Maine Law Review will publish a Spring 2010 symposium issue entitled: “Accessing Justice in Hard Times: Lessons from the Field, Looking to the Future.”
The topic is construed broadly in order to provide an opportunity for a wide variety of viewpoints on a nearly limitless range of sub-topics. This symposium will not be a “traditional” law review publication, as such. The issue will present an interdisciplinary perspective on the subject and include theoretical, empirical, and practical pieces by authors with a variety of backgrounds.
The deadline for expressions of interest in writing for this symposium issue is June 1, 2009. The deadline for submissions to be considered for the Spring 2010 symposium is October 1, 2009.
Submissions are welcome via Expresso or by email: mainelawrevieweditor [at] gmail.com
Please contact Tina H. Nadeau, Editor-in-Chief, at tina.h.nadeau [at] gmail.com for more information about this symposium or to express interest in submitting an article.

Call for Papers – Charleston Law Review Supreme Court Preview
The Charleston Law Review, the flagship law review of the Charleston School of Law, invites submissions for its Supreme Court Preview issue. Authors are welcome to submit an article or essay addressing a case before the Court in its October 2009 Term, or in the alternative, addressing an aspect of the Court itself such as recent voting trends, case load, an analysis of a particular Justice, or any other topic related to the Supreme Court.
Last year, the Supreme Court Preview included a diverse spectrum of works ranging from articles that examined cases argued in the Court’s October 2008 Term to articles that analyzed current voting trends among the Court. For example, in Crime Labs and Prison Guards: A Comment on Melendez-Diaz and Its Potential Impact on Capital Sentencing Proceedings, John Blume and Emily Paavola argued that the Court’s decision in Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts could resolve conflicting authority on what constitutes testimonial hearsay under Crawford v. Washington and could have a dramatic impact on the criminal justice system, particularly capital sentencing proceedings. Alternatively, in The Roberts Court and Criminal Justice at the Dawn of the 2008 Term, Professors Christopher E. Smith, Michael A. McCall, and Madhavi M. McCall introduced empirical decision-making patterns from the initial three terms of the Roberts Court in an attempt to ascertain how the Court would likely determine three Fourth Amendment cases in the Court’s October 2008 Term.
The Supreme Court Preview is published to coincide with the opening of the October Term 2009, and the editors therefore ask that work be submitted no later than August 1, 2009. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning July 1, 2009. Please direct submissions and any questions about the Supreme Court Preview to Ben Garner, Editor in Chief, via email at bgarner@charlestonlaw.edu or via telephone at (434) 941-9831.
Call for Papers – Disaster Law Reader
| May 1, 2009 |
Announcing a call for papers to be included in a Disaster Law Reader to coincide with the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Nearly five years have passed since Katrina wreaked havoc on the Gulf, and since that time, we’ve seen families reunited, schools rebuilt, and neighborhoods repaired. Yet for thousands of residents, legal issues remain unresolved and individual needs remain unmet. For these reasons, the five year anniversary of Katrina provides aspiring lawyers an opportunity to examine the legal and social implications of disaster by considering how the law could have been used to mitigate the impact and aftermath of the storm.
This notice calls for papers to be included in an edited collection on legal issues related to disaster preparation, management, and recovery. The editors will be seeking publication with an appropriate academic publisher. Sample topics and full details are available here.
Both completed articles (previously published or unpublished) and abstracts of works in progress will be considered. Papers with a multi-disciplinary or extra-legal focus are welcome.
Completed articles or essays must be submitted no later than August 1, 2009. If you wish to have a piece considered prior to completion, please submit an abstract of no more than two pages no later than May 1, 2009. You will receive a provisional acceptance by June 1 and be asked to submit a completed piece by August 1. A final decision on acceptance of a completed work will be made on or about September 1, 2009. Please also include a CV and full contact information.
Proposals and papers should be sent electronically to both editors. Please feel free to contact one or both to talk over your ideas or for more information: Kathleen A. Bergin (kbergin@stcl.edu) or Tracy L. McGaugh (tmcgaugh@tourolaw.edu).

Call for Papers Deadline: Supreme Court Preview issue of Charleston L. Rev.
| August 1, 2009 |
The Charleston Law Review, the flagship law review of the Charleston School of Law, invites submissions for its Supreme Court Preview issue. We welcome an article or essay addressing a case before the Court in its October 2009 Term, or in the alternative, addressing an aspect of the Court itself such as recent voting trends, case load, an analysis of a particular Justice, or any other topic related to the Supreme Court.
Last year, our Supreme Court Preview included a diverse spectrum of works ranging from articles that examined cases argued in the Court’s October 2008 Term to articles that analyzed current voting trends among the Court. For example, in Crime Labs and Prison Guards: A Comment on Melendez-Diaz and Its Potential Impact on Capital Sentencing Proceedings, John Blume and Emily Paavola argued that the Court’s decision in Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts could resolve conflicting authority on what constitutes testimonial hearsay under Crawford v. Washington and could have a dramatic impact on the criminal justice system, particularly capital sentencing proceedings. Alternatively, in The Roberts Court and Criminal Justice at the Dawn of the 2008 Term, Professors Christopher E. Smith, Michael A. McCall, and Madhavi M. McCall introduced empirical decision-making patterns from the initial three terms of the Roberts Court in an attempt to ascertain how the Court would likely determine three Fourth Amendment cases in the Court’s October 2008 Term.
The Supreme Court Preview is published to coincide with the opening of the October Term 2009, and we therefore ask that work be submitted no later than August 1, 2009. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning July 1, 2009. Please direct submissions and any questions about our Supreme Court Preview to Ben Garner, Editor in Chief, via email at bgarner [at] charlestonlaw.edu or via telephone at (434) 941-9831.
