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.

The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics at Harvard Law School will host Should Congress Repeal the McCarran-Ferguson Act? on Friday, November 12, 2010. There are a limited number of spaces available for specialists in the field who would like to attend. Requests for attendance will be accepted on the basis of availability. 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 Shortly thereafter, a debate arose as to whether the federal antitrust law exemption should be repealed.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.
