On behalf of Capital University Law School and the organizers of the Ohio Legal Scholarship Workshop, I am pleased to invite you to attend the semiannual Ohio Legal Scholarship Workshop, to be held on Saturday, February 5, 2011, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio.
Given the short timeframe to compile the agenda, please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in presenting at the Workshop. The Workshop is open to junior faculty (those who have been teaching for eight years or fewer) at the nine Ohio law schools, the Salmon P. Chase College of Law and the West Virginia University College of Law, and to others by special invitation. The Workshop provides a supportive environment for individuals to present their current work and to receive constructive feedback from their colleagues at neighboring schools. As in years past, participants will present recently completed articles or works-in-progress for comment by the group. For each piece, we will have a facilitator who will lead the discussion of that work. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to give short presentations on ideas for future scholarship that have not yet developed into a paper. If you are interested in presenting your article, serving as a facilitator, or sharing your ideas for future work, I would appreciate your reply as soon as possible and no later than January 22, 2011 to jgrant [at] law.capital.edu or by telephone at 614-236-6783.
I’ll be sending out further details in January about hotel accommodations and other logistics. In the meantime, please mark your calendars, and please forward this e-mail to any junior faculty at your school that were not on my recipient list. I look forward to seeing you at Capital in February!

The 24th Annual Robert M. Cover Public Interest Law Retreat will take place March 4-6, 2011, in Peterborough, NH. The theme is Can a Lawyer Really Save the World? Fighting for Justice and Social Change.
Every year, public interest law students, professors, and practitioners from the Eastern, Mid-Eastern, and Southern United States gather together at the Robert M.

Emory University‘s Transforming Community Project presents Slavery and the University: History and Legacies Feb. 3-6, 2011.
The impact of the African slave trade and the enslavement of people of African descent in institutions of higher education in the Atlantic World has been largely unexamined until recently. With an increasing sense of urgency, scholars, students, staff, and community partners have begun to explore these complex histories both within and outside the walls of academe. Such efforts have sought to reconcile a more accurate understanding of the past with current goals for institutional and community diversity and equity. This conference—the first of its kind—brings together scholars, community partners, staff, administrators, and students for the purpose of sharing research, teaching, and learning across the hierarchies of academic life and beyond.

Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law presents Adolescent Brains and Juvenile Justice: New Insights from Neuroscience, Genetics and Addiction Science May 12, 2011. It is sponsored by ASU’s Center for Law, Science & Innovation and Diane Halle Center for Family Justice and by the Law & Neuroscience Project.
New scientific findings regarding the adolescent brain from the fields of neuroscience, genetics and addiction science have the potential to transform the juvenile justice system by providing new evidence relevant to the culpability, deterrence, and rehabilitation potential of juvenile offenders. This evidence, which was cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 2010 decision in Graham v. Florida, has profound legal, policy and ethical implications for decision-makers.This multidisciplinary conference, the fourth in a series of biennual programs on neuroscience and the law held at the Phoenix federal courthouse, will examine how this new scientific information is currently being used, and could be used in the future, to improve juvenile justice. It will provide a balanced spectrum of scientific, legal and ethical perspectives by leading experts from across the nation.

Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law presents The Biggest Issues for the Smallest Stuff: Regulation and Risk Management of Nanotechnology March 21, 2011. The event is sponsored by the Center for Law, Science & Innovation, in partnership with the law firm of Polsinelli Shughart PC and the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at ASU.
Nanotechnology, the science of the very small, is a rapidly emerging set of technologies being applied in virtually every industry sector, including health care, energy, food, cosmetics, materials, computer and communication technologies, automotive, environmental services and many others. At the same time that nanotechnology is providing many new exciting applications and benefits, it also has the potential to create significant new risks for workers, consumers and the environment. After several years of studying the problem, federal agencies such as EPA, FDA, and NIOSH are now moving forward with more aggressive regulation of nanotechnology, and a variety of other non-regulatory risk management and safety initiatives are being proposed or implemented.
