The 2010 Central States Law School Association (CSLSA) Annual Conference will be held Sept. 24 -25, 2010, at the University of North Dakota School of Law. Abstracts are due by Aug. 31, 2010.
The purpose of CSLSA is to foster scholarly exchanges among law faculty across legal disciplines. The annual CSLSA conference is a forum for legal scholars, especially more junior scholars, to present working papers or finished articles on any law-related topic in a relaxed and supportive setting where junior and senior scholars from various disciplines are available to comment. More mature scholars have an opportunity to test new ideas in a less formal setting than is generally available for their work.
Althought CSLSA is a regional association, faculty from around the U.S. are encouraged to participate.

The editors of the Socio-Legal Review invite submissions by students and scholars.
The Journal subscribes to an expansive view on the interpretation of “law and society” thereby keeping its basic criteria for contributions simply that of high academic merit, as long as there is a perceivable link. This would include not just writing about the role played by law in social change, or the role played by social dynamics in the formulation and implementation of law, but also writing that simply takes cognizance of legal institutions/ institutions of governance/ administration, power structures in social commentary and so on. Through this effort, the journal also hopes to fill the lacunae relating to academic debate on socio-legal matters among law students.
The deadline for submission for volume 7 (2011) is Nov. 30, 2010.

The editors of the Pace Law Review invite proposals from scholars, researchers, practitioners, and professionals for contributions to our third annual issue on New York law, slated for publication in Spring 2011.
In the past, this book has examined a wide range of topics in New York law, including education, immigration, land use, and criminal procedure. Next year will mark the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks. We encourage authors to consider how the events of 9/11 have affected the legal landscape in New York State. For example, articles may address how 9/11 has influenced privacy, mass-tort, local security, health, and administrative law. Additionally, we encourage authors to consider proposals on other recent developments in New York law, unrelated to 9/11, and what they mean for our State.
Please submit proposals of no more than 500 words to plr [at] law.pace.edu by September 1, 2010. We welcome proposals for articles, essays, and book reviews.

Suffolk University School of Law will host “Contract as Promise at 30: The Future of Contract Theory” on March 25, 2011. Papers will be published in the Suffolk University Law Review. Jeffrey Lipshaw writes:
In 1981, Professor Charles Fried published a book on contract theory entitled Contract as Promise. For almost thirty years, the book has been the seminal work on the moral or deontological justification for the state’s enforcement of private promises. No scholarly discussion of the field can be complete without addressing its claims, whether one agrees or not with its original and provocative stand.
On Friday, March 25, 2011, Suffolk University Law School in Boston will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the book’s publication with a day-long symposium, “Contract as Promise at 30: The Future of Contract Theory.” After reflections from Professor Fried, some of the academy’s foremost contract theorists will offer papers and commentary, with ample opportunity for questions and discussion. Participants presently scheduled include the Honorable Richard Posner, Randy Barnett, Barbara Fried, T.M. Scanlon, Jean Braucher, Richard Craswell, Avery Katz, Henry Smith, Lisa Bernstein, Seana Shiffrin, Daniel Markovits, Juliet Kostritsky, John C.P. Goldberg, Rachel Arnow-Richman, Curtis Bridgeman, Nathan Oman, Roy Kreitner, Gregory Klass, Carol Chomsky, and Robert Scott.
This is an opportune moment to step back, review the alternative approaches to contract theory that have developed since 1981, and to offer views about future doctrinal or inter-disciplinary developments, whether based in moral philosophy, welfare economics, sociology, or other disciplines.

The Australian and New Zealand Law and History Society‘s 29th Annual Conference will be “Owning the Past: Whose Past? Whose Present?” It will take place Dec. 13-15, 2010, in Melbourne, Australia.
The use and study of the past is constantly being refashioned and reinterpreted to construct meaning in the present, imparting understandings of a common but chaotic humanity. Because everyone and no one ‘owns’ history, the ownership of historical events and the right to speak of them remains deeply contested. What are the outcomes and practical challenges surrounding the construction of historical consciousness through and about law? Whose past is told and by whom? How does law’s past influence history’s present? And is there any such thing as the orderly evolution of legal ideas? This conference invites papers on the subject of ownership in history and law, and may include contributions on any of several broad themes: the contestation of memory; the ethics of representation and remembrance; the commoditization and consumption of traumatic pasts; transcultural and transgenerational trauma; new technologies of historical documentation; testimony and bearing witness; Indigenous knowledge; identity politics; citizenship; the ethics of reproducing historical narratives; colonialism and hegemony; ‘dark’ tourism and artefacts of law; and new legal imaginings and the contest with the legal past.This is an interdisciplinary conference and papers are invited from scholars across a broad range of disciplines, as well as chronological and geographical contexts.

The Stanford Law & Policy Review is soliciting articles for an upcoming symposium on National Defense Policy. The submission deadline is Aug. 1, 2010.
The Stanford Law & Policy Review is a well-respected academic journal at Stanford Law School that explores current issues at the nexus of law and public policy. For each issue we solicit articles from prominent practitioners, policy makers, professors, judges, lawyers, political leaders, regulators, economists, and other experts. Past contributors include President (then Governor) Bill Clinton, Senator John McCain, and Governor Jeb Bush.
The National Defense Policy Symposium will be focused on recent changes and trends affecting national security and the ways in which law and policy may need to adapt in order to respond to these changes. Topics that we would like to cover in the symposium include:
- Veteran Affairs
- New Realms of Warfare (e.g. cyber-warfare, threat finance, etc.)
- Law of War (e.g. targeted killing, detention, etc.)
- Nation Building
- Counter-Insurgency / Counter-Terrorism
- Privatization and War (e.g. the role of private companies in modern warfare)
- Energy, Environment, and Defense
Submissions for publication may cover these topics or any other subject that fits within the broad framework of national security law and policy.
