Louisiana State University Law Center welcomes applications for its Future Law Teachers Fellowship Program for the 2011-2012 academic year. The Law Center is interested in fellows who are looking for an opportunity to prepare themselves for careers in legal education, who have an aptitude for teaching, and who are highly motivated to produce legal scholarship. Candidates should have outstanding academic credentials, be admitted to the practice of law, and have at least one year of significant post-graduate legal or judicial clerkship experience. The initial appointment of fellows will be for one year, but it is anticipated that fellows will remain for a second year. Fellows will have an opportunity to teach legal research, legal writing, and oral advocacy to our first-year students. Those who continue into the second year will also be given an opportunity, during the fall semester, to teach a seminar or course in an area of their substantive interest. Fellows will be expected to engage in scholarly research and writing, and will be expected to have an article accepted for publication during their second year.

If you would like to attend or have any questions, please email petrie-flom@law.harvard.edu Please note that unfortunately, funding for travel to Cambridge is not available and must be provided by attendee’s home institution.
Conference Description
In 1944, the U.S. Supreme Court, in United States v. South-Eastern Underwriters Association, held that the Commerce Clause authorized the federal government to regulate insurance companies. The next year, in direct response, Congress passed the McCarran-Ferguson Act, effectively shielding the business of insurance from federal antitrust regulation, except the regulation of boycott, coercion and intimidation, so long as state law regulates anticompetitive conduct. Shortly thereafter, a debate arose as to whether the federal antitrust law exemption should be repealed. With the recent flurry of federal reform of health care insurance markets, the current debate has centered on whether Congress should repeal the McCarran-Ferguson Act’s antitrust exemption for health care insurers. The one-day conference will bring together regulators, industry actors and academics working in the fields of business, law and economics to discuss the pros and cons of repealing the McCarran-Ferguson Act’s federal antitrust exemption for health care insurers.

The Institute for Law Teaching and Learning (ILTL) (Gonzaga University School of Law and Washburn University School of Law) has established an alert service in order to provide our colleagues with teaching and learning ideas throughout the year.
To sign up for this free resource go to: http://lawteaching.org/getalerts/
The Institute will use the service to distribute:
· A teaching and learning idea (monthly);
· A review of and link to a noteworthy article about legal pedagogy (monthly);
· Periodic updates about and links to additional information and resources available on the ILTL website;
· The Law Teacher newsletter (fall and spring);
· Announcements of ILTL conferences and programs.
Members of the alert service can expect to receive an e-mail message from the ILTL about every two weeks (beginning October 2010). The service is distribution only; a number law teaching and learning discussion lists already exist and the ILTL does not wish to duplicate these efforts.

Boston University School of Law is pleased to announce the Annual Distinguished Lecture entitled:
Justice: What’s the Right Thing To Do?
A Public Lecture and Symposium on Michael J. Sandel’s Recent Book
Public Lecture: 12:30 to 2:00
Book Symposium: 2:30 to 6:00
Professor Michael J. Sandel will give the annual Boston University School of Law Distinguished Lecture concerning his recent book, Justice: What’s the Right Thing To Do?, followed by a symposium on the book. The symposium will feature commentators in law, philosophy, and political science along with a response by Professor Sandel. Boston University Law Review will publish the lecture, commentaries, and response.
Professor Sandel is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard University, where he also teaches in the Law School. He is widely regarded as our nation’s leading civic republican political and constitutional theorist: his work focuses on citizenship, what we owe one another, and what way(s) of life a good society should promote. He is the author of Liberalism and the Limits of Justice (Cambridge University Press, 1982, 2nd edition, 1998), Democracy’s Discontent: America in Search of a Public Philosophy (Harvard University Press, 1996), Public Philosophy: Essays on Morality in Politics (Harvard University Press, 2005), and The Case against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering (Harvard University Press, 2007). A public philosopher, he also has published articles in The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic, and The New York Times. A renowned teacher, Professor Sandel’s famous course at Harvard, Justice, regularly enrolls nearly 1000 students and is now available around the world through webstreaming, podcasting, and a public television series (see http://justiceharvard.org/). In addition, he teaches “Markets, Morals, and the Law,” “Ethics and Biotechnology,” and “Globalization and Its Discontents.” From 2002 to 2005, Sandel served on the President’s Council on Bioethics, a national body appointed by the President to examine the ethical implications of new biomedical technologies.

The University of Iowa College of Law invites submissions for a proposed symposium to mark the 25th anniversary of the United States Supreme Court’s landmark opinion in Batson v. Kentucky (1986). The symposium is prompted by a need for reflection upon what a quarter-century of experience with the revolutionary constitutional restrictions that Batson and its progeny have imposed on peremptory jury challenges means for the criminal justice system. Submitted work should be prompted by the Batson doctrine (its impact, consequences and implications for the future) or, more broadly, by other concerns regarding the theory and function of the peremptory challenge. We encourage a broad range of doctrinal and methodological approaches to these questions, and both legal and social science scholars are welcome to participate. We anticipate a live symposium in October of 2011 and publication of the completed papers in a to-be-determined format. The conference planners reserve the right to solicit authors independently of this call for papers and to condition going forward on sufficient submissions of interest and quality.
Those interested in participating should submit a one paragraph summary of the paper they will present and an abstract of no more than 750 words that outlines the structure and content of the paper in more detail. The deadline for expressions of interest is December 15, 2010. More detailed outlines will be due at a later date. Final manuscripts will be due three weeks before the symposium.
Submit summaries and abstracts via email in either Word or PDF format to: Prof. James Tomkovicz, james-tomkovicz [at] uiowa.edu. Inquiries about the symposium can be made to Professor Tomkovicz.

Boston University School of Law presents The Role of Fiduciary Law and Trust in the 21st Century: A Conference Inspired by the Work of Tamar Frankel Oct. 29, 2010. Boston University Law Review will publish the papers and proceedings.
Fiduciary law is designed to encourage people to rely on experts and other fiduciaries, to facilitate fair and efficient terms of those relationships, and to prevent (and provide remedies for) abuse of power entrusted to the fiduciary. This Conference highlights the nature and scope of fiduciary law, and its relationship to other legal doctrines and categories; considers how fiduciary law can be illuminated by viewing it through the lens of such disciplines as economics, psychology, history, political science and philosophy; investigates current debates about recognizing fiduciary duties in the determination of executive compensation, in the prohibition of insider trading under the federal securities laws, in the largely unregulated world of securities and mortgage broker-dealers and in modern capital structure and governance; and explores whether addressing and redressing abuse of power by public officials raises similar issues.
Detailed conference agenda here.
