Hofstra University School of Law resents a conference, Collaborative Law: Opportunities, Challenges and Questions for the Future, on November 19 and 20, 2009.
Collaborative Law is a voluntary dispute resolution process for parties represented by counsel, which has already taken root in family law. Like mediation, Collaborative Law helps parties resolve their dispute themselves rather than having a ruling imposed upon them by a court or arbitrator. The Uniform Collaborative Law Act is scheduled to be voted on by the Uniform Law Commission in July 2009 and the ABA House of Delegates in February 2010.
The conference will cover topics in Collaborative Law in the context of legal ethics and professional responsibility, mediation, arbitration and other ADR processes, access to justice and vulnerable populations, domestic violence, informed consent, legal education, business law, and interdisciplinary practice.
For further information, contact Franca Sachs, Executive Director of Family Law Programs, at Franca.Sachs@hofstra.edu.

Authors are encouraged to submit clear, concise, and accessible proposals for articles, essays and book reviews that will interest lawmakers, attorneys, and students. The proposals should address issues pertinent to the interrelationship between national security concerns and constitutional law of a particular nation or nations.

Book review proposals should also include (a) the title and publication date of the book proposed for review; (b) a description of the importance of the book to the general topic; and (c) any other information relevant to the book or proposed review (e.g., the reviewer’s expertise or any relationship with the author).
Please submit proposals of no more than 500 words to pilr@law.pace.edu by July 30, 2009. All proposals should include the intended author’s name, title, institutional affiliation and contact information. Authors are also welcome, but not required, to submit a CV. The editors expect to make offers to the selected guest speakers in August, 2009.
