The Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice (Berkeley Law) presents its fall symposium, ReProducing Justice, Nov. 12-13, 2009.
The regulation of bodies, sexualities, and reproduction by the state has traditionally been addressed through a “reproductive rights” lens. In practice, however, the reproductive rights movement, with its emphasis on individual “choice” and rights to specific practices such as abortion, has neglected the needs and demands of people of color, poor people, and those whose bodies are marked as inappropriate or incapable of reproducing or enjoying sexuality. Now, a new generation of lawyers and activists, under the new framework of “reproductive justice,” seek to eradicate the reproductive oppressions that have exploited the bodies, sexualities, and reproduction of our most marginalized individuals and communities for decades.The reproductive justice movement — a movement recognizing that power inequities inherent in our society’s institutions, environment, economics and culture affect people’s abilities to exercise self-determination in their reproductive lives — is burgeoning, yet legal scholarship, pedagogy, and advocacy lags behind. We are inviting you to participate in the conference and help us to galvanize a new generation of lawyers and legal scholars who are committed to uniting all those whose reproductive agency is endangered by enforcement of oppressive stereotypes and economic and cultural inequities. The conference will bring activists together with scholars from within law and outside law to address a host of interconnecting social justice and human rights issues that affect people’s bodies, sexuality, and reproduction.
The event is cosponsored by Law Students for Reproductive Justice (Boalt Chapter & National Office), Berkeley Journal of Gender, Law and Justice, Berkeley Law Critical Race Scholars Society, Law Students of African Descent, Women of Color Collective. mw

The Law and Society Association invites proposals (for papers or sessions) for its annual meeting, Beyond Critique, May 27-30, 2010. The submission deadline is Dec. 8, 2009.
A graduate student workshop, What’s Next for the Law and Society Paradigm?, will be held May 25-26, 2010. The application deadline is Jan. 29, 2010.
An Early Career Workshop (limited to 20 scholars) will also take place May 25-26, 2010. The application deadline is Jan. 15, 2010.
The Early Career Workshop encourages new faculty to move their research and writing toward law-and-society topics and encourages people who are already comfortable with one methodological approach to consider others. For those trained as lawyers, social science may seem a bit daunting. For those trained in one social science, other methodologies from other fields may seem foreign. But for all concerned, it might be useful to know these other methods. In this Early Career Workshop, we will help people to make transitions to new kinds of law-related work with a focus on questions of methodology. As a result, we will ask: How do law-and-society scholars do their work? And how can newcomers to the field increase their methodological range?

The National Institute for Teaching Ethics and Professionalism (NIFTEP) invites full-time, adjunct, and clinical law professors, practitioners, and others who are committed to promoting ethics and professionalism to apply for its Fall 2009 workshop on November 6-8, 2009. The workshop will be held at Red Top Mountain State Park and Lodge in Cartersville, Georgia, 40 miles northwest of Atlanta. Click here for the application and other workshop information. Fellowship applications are due by Sept. 11, 2009.
THEME ONE : What explicit information and implicit messages are today’s law students and beginning lawyers receiving from popular culture, legal education and the profession about what it means to be a lawyer? How can law teachers and practitioners work together to improve that information and modify those messages, especially to promote ethics and professionalism?
THEME TWO : How can we better identify in our own teaching, mentoring and supervision the implicit messages we convey about what it means to be a lawyer?’
