The Raoul Dandurand Chair at the University of Quebec at Montreal and the Association for Borderlands Studies will hold Fences, Walls and Borders: State of Insecurity? May 19-20, 2011. The deadline for submitting abstracts is Oct. 15, 2010. Papers may be in French or English.
Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the question still remains “Do good fences still make good neighbours”? Since the Great Wall of China, construction of which began under the Qin dynasty, the Antonine Wall, built in Scotland to support Hadrian’s Wall, the Roman “Limes” or the Danevirk fence, the “wall” has been a constant in the protection of defined entities claiming sovereignty, East and West. But is the wall more than an historical relict for the management of borders? In recent years the wall has been given renewed vigour in North America, particularly along the U.S.-Mexico border, and in Israel, where the old Green line has been transformed into a wall separating Arab from Israeli. But the success of these new walls in the development of friendly and orderly relations between nations (or indeed, within nations) remains unclear. What role does the wall play in the development of security and insecurity? Do walls contribute to a sense of insecurity as much as they assuage fears and create a sense of security for those ‘behind the line’? Exactly what kind of security is associated with border walls?

The UCLA School of Law has recently launched the Human Rights & International Criminal Law Online Forum.
The Forum is an initiative of the Sanela Diana Jenkins Human Rights Project and the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. It is designed to generate debate about issues of significance for the International Criminal Court.
The first question is whether the ICC prosecutor should have the authority to open an investigation into alleged war crimes committed in the 2008-09 Gaza conflict. The invited experts who submitted opinions were Prof. George P. Fletcher (Columbia Law), Dr. Marlies Glasius (University of Amsterdam), Dr. Michael Kearney, Legal Researcher, Al-Haq, Prof. John Quigley (Moritz College of Law, The Ohio State University), and Prof. Yaël Ronen (Sha’arei Mishpat College).
The second question (open for comments Nov. 15, 2010) will address the genocide charges filed against Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir. The third topic will address gender crimes under ICC jurisdiction, in particular those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kivu Provinces, and Darfur.

Berkeley Law hosts The Mindful Lawyer Oct. 29-31, 2010. Sponsors include the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, the University of Buffalo Law School, the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy (Buffalo) the University of San Francisco School of Law, the University of Florida Levin College of Law, CUNY School of Law, and the Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice (Berkeley).
The Mindful Lawyer: Practices & Prospects for Law School, Bench, and Bar is a national conference that will bring together the pioneers who have been developing programs integrating meditation and contemplative practices with legal education and practice, and others in the legal profession who are interested in exploring this work.Many law professionals have found that meditation practice has sharpened their legal skills, helped them to manage the stresses of their challenging work, increased their empathy, and deepened their commitment to creating a more just society. The conference will offer a blend of scholarly presentation, practical experience and discussion, and recent developments in neuroscience and psychology relevant to meditation practice. We invite lawyers, law professors, judges, mediators and other dispute resolution professionals, and law students to explore the connections between law and meditation, and to learn and practice meditation.
The Mindful Lawyer conference will begin with an optional half-day meditation retreat on Friday afternoon. The conference officially convenes on Friday evening and runs through mid-afternoon on Sunday.

The Northwest Clinical Conference, hosted by Seattle University School of Law, will take place Oct. 8-10, 2010, in Leavenworth, WA.
The NW Clinical conference at beautiful Sleeping Lady Resort in Leavenworth, Washington is filling up fast. There will also be a staff track for part of the program agenda on the changing role of staff in the 21st Century Clinical program.This will be a great conference and opportunity to meet and connect with clinical faculty and staff from Washington State, British Columbia, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming, and even from as far away as the University of the District of Columbia in DC. We have speakers from Loyola New Orleans (discussing clinical programs’ responses to emergencies/disasters), and Syracuse (discussing cultural competence and the particular issues surrounding the culture of geography/place); and sessions on new experiential learning structures and the interaction between externships and clinical courses.
The beautiful environment in combination with the smaller group of wonderful people (we have a maximum of 50 participants and 10 guests) makes this both a wonderful learning environment and great retreat. We hope you can make it!
For more information, contact Lisa Brodoff, lbrodhoff [at] seattleu.edu.

The University of Washington School of Law presents Mobile Payments: Global Markets, Empowered Consumers and New Rules? Oct. 29, 2010.
More than two-thirds of the world’s population has a mobile phone, creating opportunities for new payment platforms in both developed and developing nations. In the former, where the market for mobile telephony is mature, mobile payments are seen as a potential source of revenue by mobile operators, who are trying to diversify their services. In the latter, mobile payments could transition the unbanked into mainstream financial services, and could create new opportunities for commerce as mobile devices can make transactions more efficient and provide merchants and consumers with new access to information.This one-day conference will explore the benefits of mobile payments in to consumers – both in developed and developing markets and the types of regulatory approaches that will increase consumer adoption and provide incentives for businesses to compete in this emerging space.

LatCrit XV (and the 8th Annual Junior Faculty Development Workshop) will take place Oct. 7-10, 2010, in Denver. The deadline to register is September 15, 2010, but the organizers appreciate early registration to help their planning. Online registration is here.
LatCrit’s annual conference returns to Colorado ten years after LatCrit V., LatCrit Theory and Praxis in a World of Economic Inequality, was held in Breckenridge, CO. LatCrit XV allows us to revisit some of the issues explored then in this year’s theme, The Color of the Economic Crisis: Exploring the Downturn from the Bottom Up.
The Global Financial Crisis peaked in September 2008 when stock markets crashed and numerous banks, mortgage lenders and insurance companies failed. Almost two years later , relief for the hardest hit – people of color, low-income communities, and women – has yet to materialize. Communities of color have moved beyond recession and are now experiencing a depression, yet the media has paid little attention to the effects of this crisis on the most vulnerable. In examining the workings of subordinated identities — race, gender, sexual orientation and class (economic status) — class stands alone as a putative indicator of merit. Net worth and social worth are equated in a capitalism that holds itself out as a tool of anti-subordination. But such an account of capitalism ignores its historical and societal underpinnings, and how capitalism functions to entrench the status quo. This conference will explore, from diverse vantage points, the causes, conditions and ramifications of the economic crisis.
Thanks to an overwhelming response to our Call for Papers/Panels, LatCrit XV promises to be a dynamic and engaging conference. Joining illustrious plenary speakers and honorees will be an extensive and diverse roster of notable speakers on panels, roundtables and in work-in-progress colloquia. Register Early! We look forward to seeing you there!
