The University of Miami Inter-American Law Review The Human Element: The Impact of Regional Trade Agreements on Human Rights and the Rule of Law Feb. 26, 2011.
This year’s symposium will focus on Regional Trade Agreements and their impact on the Rule of Law and Human Rights in Latin America. The topic will focus on the impact of these trade agreements on the people of Latin America from their population to their rulers. Trade agreements have begun to affect the Rule of Law by providing a neutral forum to hold those in power, and otherwise unaccountable to the laws of their country, accountable to foreign nations. The agreements have served to elevate the Rule of Law beyond the Rule of Man in some cases in these Latin American Countries. However, trade agreements have had mixed results with their impact on human rights. They have a large impact on labor and environmental rights, as well as an economic impact based on these provisions, yet these are not always a positive impact.

The UC Davis Law Review holds its 30th symposium on the same topic as its first: The Public Trust Doctrine: 30 Years Later takes place March 4, 2011.
The public trust doctrine is rooted in the Roman Law idea of res communis, or common properties. Advocates of the public trust doctrine have used it to argue for the preservation of the earth’s resources. Opponents of the doctrine believe that it endorses the unjustified taking of private property by the state without compensation. . . .

The symposium will analyze how nations can balance the need for receiving timely assistance from worldwide organizations with their goal of retaining sovereignty in the days following a disaster. As countries struggle to rebuild, is it appropriate for international law to play a role in managing the chaos? Panelists, who have visited and assisted in many disaster zones, will debate new disaster preparedness guidelines and the policy implications of having the international community assume a more prominent role in disaster relief. Panelists also will focus their remarks on specific aspects of disaster law, such as how tragic events impact housing rights, children, healthcare and education.

The good news is that there is a lot going on in the legal academy. The bad news is that this site can be overwhelming to busy academics who just want to find what’s relevant to them.
One answer? Use our categories.
When we post events and calls for papers, we tag them with one or more of the categories listed in the sidebar. That means that when you visit the site, you can look for just the events in certain subject areas, whether Business Law, Human Rights Law, or Law and Gender. Or you can look just at the listings of Colloquia/Workshops or just Calls for Papers.
If you use a feed reader (also known as RSS reader or aggregator), you can subscribe to the feed for selected categories. Our tech team set this up in response to a professor’s suggestion — he liked the site but found it overwhelming to get announcements about conferences that weren’t in his area. Now he can follow his topics (environmental law and administrative law) and you can follow yours, whatever they are.

Yale Law School hosted the Conference on Empirical Legal Studies 2010 Nov. 5-6, 2010. You can read 82 abstracts (and often papers) presented are on SSRN. The final program (with a montage of Yale realists) is here.
Topics addressed include nearly every major area of law. The most presentations concerned courts (including judges and juries), securities law and business law, and comparative law.
Since this is the Legal Scholarship Blog, it seems appropriate to share the abstract of a paper about legal scholarship:
Schwartz, David L. and Petherbridge, Lee, The Use of Legal Scholarship by the Federal Courts of Appeals: An Empirical Study (August 17, 2010). Cornell Law Review, Vol. 96, 2011; 5th Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies Paper; Loyola-LA Legal Studies Paper No. 2010-38. Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1640681
Chief Justice Roberts recently explained that he does not pay much attention to law review articles, reportedly stating that they are not “particularly helpful for practitioners and judges.” Chief Justice Roberts’s criticism echoes that made by other judges, some of whom, like Judge Harry Edwards, have been much more strident in the contention that legal scholarship is largely unhelpful to practitioners and judges. Perhaps inspired by criticisms like those leveled by Chief Justice Roberts and Judge Edwards, legal scholars have sought to investigate the relevance of legal scholarship to courts and practitioners using a variety of means. One avenue of investigation has been empirical, where several studies, using different, and sometimes ambiguous, methodologies have observed a decrease in citation to legal scholarship and interpreted the observation to mean that legal scholarship has lost relevance to courts and practitioners.
The study reported here examines the hypothesis that legal scholarship has lost relevance to courts. Using empirical techniques and an original dataset that is substantially more comprehensive than those used in previous studies, it examines citation to legal scholarship by the United States circuit courts of appeals over the last 59 years. It finds a rather surprising result. Contrary to the claims of Justice Roberts and Judge Edwards, and contrary to the results of prior studies, this study finds that over the last 59 years – and particularly over the last 20 years – there has been a marked increase in the frequency of citation to legal scholarship in the reported opinions of the circuit courts of appeals. Using empirical and theoretical methods, this study also considers explanations for courts’ increased use of legal scholarship.

The Members of Blackstone Chambers and the British Institute of International and Comparative Law are proud to present an afternoon seminar in memory of the late Sir Ian Brownlie CBE QC, Nov. 19, 2010, 1:30-7:00 pm.
Sir Ian Brownlie was a phenomenon in the world of public international law. He was known on the one hand for his academic prowess, with books such as Principles of Public International Law, now in its 7th edition, translated into many languages and referred to as a classic text by international lawyers and judges alike. On the other, Ian was a litigator on the international stage; during 25 years he appeared in more than 40 contentious cases before the International Court of Justice and was an experienced and active arbitrator. He contributed both through his appearances and his writings to the growing reach of international law, to new subject areas and new states and was a member and Chairman of the UN International Law Commission. His interest in human rights is also well documented, as evidenced by the recent issue of the 6th edition of Brownlie’s Documents on Human Rights.
The contributors to this seminar all knew and worked with Ian. They, like him, have an interest in the development of international law and of international human rights law, both in their pure forms and in the developing interface with domestic jurisdictions. The seminar topics, arranged into two panels of speakers, are designed to reflect areas of particular interest to Ian and the contributors will develop themes and encourage debate which Ian would have welcomed, both as a practitioner and an academic. The afternoon culminates with a talk by Judge Sir Christopher Greenwood, the British judge on the International Court of Justice.

The Federal Bar Association‘s 36th Annual Indian Law Conference will be April 7-8, 2011, in Santa Fe, NM.
American Indian nations have long been innovators in tribal governance, economic empowerment, and cultural revitalization. Accordingly, this year’s conference takes a deliberate look at some of the “best practices” in federal Indian law as a means of approaching our most intractable problems. Panel discussions will cover topics including Indian finance, criminal justice, civil jurisdiction, land re-acquisition, gaming, taxation, and the environment— looking, in each instance, at a continuing Indian law challenge and the ways that tribes, agencies, legislators, courts, and others are responding to it. Other sessions will address domestic and international advocacy, along with ethical considerations in Indian law. Break-out sessions will provide “nuts and bolts” information and strategies on water rights, tribal code development (on probate, family, and child welfare issues), religious freedoms, and tribal in-house attorney issues. A special program will honor the Native American Rights Fund’s 40th Anniversary and its leadership role in best Indian law practices. We hope you will join us for a forward-thinking, practically-oriented, and inspiring conference!
Thanks: Turtle Talk.

Brooklyn Law School Center for the Study of Law, Language and Cognition and the Brooklyn Law Review present Statutory Interpretation: How Much Work Does Language Do? Nov. 19, 2010.
With 2010 marking Justice Scalia’s 25th year on the Supreme Court, his approach to statutory interpretation has had great influence on both the courts and the academic community. Yet vigorous disagreement continues in both realms. In a series of roundtables, leading scholars will discuss and debate their views on such issues as whether uncertainty in statutory language is a necessity, whether legislatures can solve some of their own problems by legislating in a manner designed to help statutory interpreters in advance, and which institutions can best construe statutes in different contexts.
Brooklyn Law School Professors Lawrence M. Solan and Rebecca Kysar organized this symposium.

The British Institute of International and Comparative Law presents Criminal Law and the Rights of the Child Nov. 30, 2010.
Despite having ratified various relevant instruments pertaining to the protection of the rights of children in criminal matters and despite national efforts of promulgation of various legislations, several states are either unable or still reluctant to generate the required political will and legal measures in offering adequate protection for children. As a result, many children across the world are currently found in circumstances which are incompatible with the international conventions.This one day colloquium will bring together experts from a range of Muslim and non-Muslim states in order to share their research and experiences with regard to the rights of the child in criminal processes. Discussions among participants will highlight the successes and potential lacunas in various jurisdictions applicable to juvenile offenders. Each session will conclude with a question and discussion period at the end.
This event will take place during the final stage of a study on the topic undertaken by the British Institute of International and Comparative Law.
