On June 17, the American Antitrust Institute will host a Systems Competition Invitational Symposium focusing on recent policy changes surrounding systems competition. AAI’s interest in systems competition issues recognizes the expanding body of legal, economic, business, and technical experience with rivalry within and between systems. As systems become more prevalent and strategic competition plays a more prominent role in their development and maintenance, competition policy will increasingly have to address systems-related issues in merger, monopolization, and even collusion cases. The goal of the symposium is to build on existing economic and legal analysis of systems to offer insights into how antitrust enforcement should address competitive issues that are arising with increasing frequency. Among the questions that the symposium will address are:
- How can insight into the ways in which systems are designed and managed help antitrust enforcement address competitive problems?
- How can strategic management decisions contribute to the development of “open” and “closed” systems and to the transformation from one mode to the other, thereby affecting antitrust enforcement priorities?
- How can the traditional tools of antitrust analysis apply to systems issues or should enforcement look to new or different methods to evaluate systems-based competitive issues?
The program agenda can be downloaded here. The registration period is April 20-June 10, 2009.
If you would like to request an invitation to this symposium, please contact aai@antitrustinstitute.org.

Registration is now open for the University of Girona‘s conference, Neutrality and Theory of Law, on May 20-22, 2010. The conference commemorates the first fifty volumes in Marcial Pons publishers’ Philosophy and Law collection. Universtat Pampeu Fabra is also an organizer of the conference.
Our aim is that the conference will be a meeting place for authors and readers of our books. For this reason twelve authors from the collection will be speakers at the event Dr. Robert Alexy, Dr. Juan C. Bayón, Dr. Brian Bix, Dr. Eugenio Bulygin, Dr. Bruno Celano, Dr. Jules L. Coleman, Dr. Riccardo Guastini, Dr. Brian Leiter, Dr. Jorge Luis Rodríguez, Dr. Frederick Schauer, Dr. Scott J. Shapiro, Dr. Wilfrid J. Waluchow. We have chosen the theme “neutrality and theory of Law” as the backbone of the speeches because it is one of the most frequently found, either directly or indirectly, in the books of the collection
Our objective is to offer an event of the utmost magnitude in the iusphilosophical debate that will gather the different legal traditions, addressed specifically toward the Hispanic-American community.
Online registration is available at the conference website.

The Frances Lewis Law Center at Washington & Lee University is sponsoring a workshop for junior scholars working on legal issues related to children.

The University of Louisville will host the second annual Conference on Innovation and Communication Law on August 21 and 22, 2009. The Conference, a follow-up to the 2008 conference held in Turku, Finland, is a cooperative effort of the University of Louisville School of Law, University of Turku Faculty of Law, Michigan State University College of Law, Drake University Law School, and the IPR Center in Helsinki, Finland.
This year’s conference will focus mainly on the role intellectual property and communications law play in the dissemination of information. As a result, discussion will focus less on the creation of rights, and more on how the legal system helps (or hinders) the development of knowledge.

The University of Chicago Legal Forum is now accepting abstracts and drafts for our 2010 Volume and symposium, Crime, Criminal Law, and the Recession. Authors selected for publication must present their article at the University of Chicago Legal Forum Symposium on October 23-24, 2009, at the law school and submit a publication draft by early January 2010.
The symposium will provide one of the first opportunities to explore an overlooked aspect of the current recession — changes in crime and criminal law. It will bring together scholars and practitioners from a range of disciplines — law, economics, sociology, political science, and public policy. Topics may include the impact of inequality or unemployment on crime rates, social trends in crime during recessions, the impact of crime on economic growth, changes in state drug laws, and reevaluations of the cost of punishment.
Interested authors should submit a CV and abstracts or drafts via email at UChicago.LegalForum [at] gmail.com. The submission deadline is August 1, 2009.
