Structural Racism: Inequality in America Today – Lexington, KY
| February 25, 2011 |
The University of Kentucky College of Law presents The Inaugural James and Mary Lassiter Conference, Structural Racism: Inequality in America Today, Feb. 25, 2011.
Whenever we see disparate racial outcomes in American society — in education, health care, housing, criminal justice, or work opportunities — we are seeing structural racism at work. But this is a form of racism that most white Americans do not perceive. Our society believes racism is both conscious and intentional, so that our legal system often ignores discriminatory effects unless the claimant can show explicitly racially-discriminatory intent. But sociologists discount intent when they analyze social processes. They have demonstrated that social structures and processes produce disparate racial outcomes without conscious intent.Structural racism appears in our dependence on local property taxes for public school funding, or reliance on social networks to spread information about job openings, or subjective decision-making in the workplace, or a housing market that is driven by unconscious stereotypes, or the on-going exclusion of domestic and farm workers from Social Security benefits. Each example appears on the surface to be race-neutral. Yet their outcomes consistently disadvantage people of color.
The College of Law, Prof. William Wiecek, the inaugural Lassiter Distinguished Visiting Professor at the UK College of Law, faculty from many disciplines at UK, and presenters from other area universities and organizations are pleased to share their research and work on the racial disparities in outcomes and the structural processes that produce those disparities.
The goal of the conference is to engage in a cross-disciplinary exploration of structural racism in order to enable cross-disciplinary action to dismantle structural racism.

The symposium will explore the idea that there is emerging in almost every field a core of law which we can call “Global Law” which is influencing domestic legal evolutions in particular ways. At the same time, there are areas of law which have traditionally staved off “global influences” such as family law which appear to be fair game in this round of “Global Law.” This symposium will consider this emerging “Global Law”, what is driving it and how the new phase of globalization of law is transforming legal education, practice and legal doctrines.
Presentations will address the globalization of law and economic development, constitutional law, corporate law, international law, human rights law, environmental law, and family law. mw

The Patent Conference, or Pat Con, is a cooperative effort between the University of Kansas School of Law, the Chicago-Kent College of Law, the University of San Diego School of Law, and Boston College Law School to hold an annual conference where patent scholars in law, economics, management science, and other disciplines can share their research. Given the importance, and rapid growth, of academic research into patents, Dave Schwartz, Ted Sichelman, David Olson, and I [Andrew Torrance] believe the time has come for the wide range of scholars engaged in this important work to gather in a regular forum, as scholars in intellectual property have fruitfully done for years. After this year’s inaugural Patent Conference, future annual conferences will rotate among Boston College, Chicago-Kent, San Diego, and the University of Kansas.
If you would like to present your patent research at the 2011 Patent Conference, please submit an abstract to Andrew Torrance at torrance@ku.edu by February 15th, 2011. You are more than welcome to attend even if you prefer not to present. We welcome scholarship from legal academics, but also encourage participation from scholars in economics, business, management science, policy, medicine, public health, engineering, and technology studies. Presenters will be expected to cover their own travel and accommodations expenses, but there will be no registration fee, and meals and refreshments during the conference will be provided. We look forward to your participation in the Patent Conference/Pat Con 2011.

Call for Papers (Immediate Need): Law and Technology
The World Jurist Association is seeking articles of publishable quality in the field of law and technology for inclusion in a publication entitled Law/Technology. The journal has a readership in over 200 countries, including many of the major law libraries around the world. We publish 4 issues a year and are currently searching for articles for the 2011 publications.
In addition, we have a current issue which we need to fill immediately and therefore would consider articles that have been previously published but which are available for republication and would still be of interest to an international audience. For more information, contact Rachael Boyd at programs [at] worldjurist [dot] org, (202) 466-5428.
