The Board of Directors of the Legal Writing Institute seeks proposals from schools interested in hosting the 2014 LWI Biennial Conference.
[The] 2010 LWI conference was held at a resort in Marco Island, Florida, and the 2012 conference will be held at a resort in Palm Desert, California. Because the evaluations of the 2010 conference were quite positive, the Board is not averse to choosing another hotel or resort location for the 2014 conference. However, the Board would also like to consider options for hosting a conference at a law school in order to minimize costs for our members and maximize the potential profits to fund LWI’s programs. Accordingly, the Board is asking law schools who are interested in hosting the 2014 Biennial Conference to submit a proposal by May 15, 2011.
For more information, contact LWI president kenneth D. Chestek (kchestek [at] iupui.edu) or Board member Alison Julien (alison.julien [at] marquette.edu). mw

New archival research on banking, finance, manufacturing, migration, and transportation reveals greater integration and greater complexity in the economic relationship of North and South. Presentations will explore New England investment in the plantation economies of the Caribbean; the technological and managerial innovations in plantation management that coincided with northern industrialization; and the origins of modern finance and credit in the buying and selling of enslaved men and women and the crops they produced. The papers convey that slavery was a national institution whose importance reached far beyond the boundaries of plantation lands. Moreover, this new research suggests that the hotbeds of American entrepreneurship, speculation, and innovation might as readily be found in Mississippi or Virginia as in New York or Massachusetts. The issue is not whether slavery was or was not capitalist (an older debate), but rather the impossibility of understanding the nation’s spectacular pattern of economic development without situating slavery front and center. The result is a new history of American capitalism that recognizes slavery as a constitutive element of the nation’s economic rise in the nineteenth century.
Sven Beckert and Seth Rockman are the conveners of this conference and would like to call particular attention to slavery’s importance to the institutional histories of both Harvard University and Brown University. This conference marks the continued investment of both universities in recovering and publicizing this history.

Richardson School of Law, the University of Louisville School of Law, Michigan State University College of Law, the University of Turku Faculty of Law, and the IPR University Center, Finland. The theme for this year’s conference is Re-envisioning Progress: Pluralistic Visions of Intellectual Property in a Globalized, Digitized Era.
Focusing on the globalization of intellectual property rights (IPR), this conference aims to look beyond utilitarian rationales for intellectual property (IP) protection and take account of diverse constituencies and new technological realities. The committee is keen to receive proposals for papers that consider pluralistic notions of IPR and/or IP rationales that go beyond narrow utilitarian incentives. Topics may push the bounds of traditional expectations of the role of intellectual property and communications law (IPCL) in promoting or regulating the following: open access; free culture; the software movement; efforts to protect and enforce indigenous peoples traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, genetic resources, and/or United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN DRIP) assets and resources; or the navigation of diverse national traditions with respect to ownership/custodianship/stewardship/management of IP.
Proposals/abstracts are due by March 15, 2011. mw

The Law and Economics Center at George Mason University School of Law presents Workshop on Empirical and Experimental Methods for Law Professors May 23-26, 2011.
The Workshop on Empirical and Experimental Methods for Law Professors is designed to teach law professors the conceptual and practical skills required to (1) understand and evaluate others’ empirical studies, and (2) design and implement their own empirical studies. Participants are not expected to have background in statistical knowledge or empirical skills prior to enrollment. Instructors have been selected in part to demonstrate the development of empirical studies in a wide-range of legal and institutional settings including: antitrust, business law, bankruptcy, class actions, contracts, criminal law and sentencing, federalism, finance, intellectual property, and securities regulation. Class sessions will provide participants opportunities to learn through faculty lectures, drawing upon data and examples for cutting edge empirical legal studies, and participating in experiments. There will be numerous opportunities for participants to discuss their own works-in-progress or project ideas with the instructors.

The Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights at University College Cork is pleased to announce its fifth Annual Postgraduate Conference which will take place on Thursday, 28th April, 2011. The conference is aimed at those who are undertaking postgraduate research in the areas of criminal law, criminal justice and human rights. The Organising Committee is particularly eager to incorporate multi-disciplinary perspectives. Abstracts are welcome from scholars from disciplines outside of law (such as politics, social studies, sociology and philosophy, for example) who are working on related topics.The theme for this year’s event is “Human Rights Protection and Criminal Justice in the Age of Crisis”. The aim is to reflect upon the impact of crises on fundamental rights protection and the criminal law. We hope that this theme will encourage debate on the challenging and complex questions which arise in turbulent times. We are especially interested in papers that relate to human rights, criminal justice, criminal law or the intersection of these fields. However, we also welcome papers dealing with issues outside these areas that fall within the broader theme of the conference. Papers will be streamed thematically. Anticipated sessions include “Contemporary Discourse in Criminal Law“, “Civil Liberties, Technology and State Security Claims” and “International Law, Human Rights and Development Policy“.

The Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights at University College Cork is pleased to announce its fifth Annual Postgraduate Conference which will take place on Thursday, 28th April, 2011. The conference is aimed at those who are undertaking postgraduate research in the areas of criminal law, criminal justice and human rights. The Organising Committee is particularly eager to incorporate multi-disciplinary perspectives. Abstracts are welcome from scholars from disciplines outside of law (such as politics, social studies, sociology and philosophy, for example) who are working on related topics.The theme for this year’s event is “Human Rights Protection and Criminal Justice in the Age of Crisis”. The aim is to reflect upon the impact of crises on fundamental rights protection and the criminal law. We hope that this theme will encourage debate on the challenging and complex questions which arise in turbulent times. We are especially interested in papers that relate to human rights, criminal justice, criminal law or the intersection of these fields. However, we also welcome papers dealing with issues outside these areas that fall within the broader theme of the conference. Papers will be streamed thematically. Anticipated sessions include “Contemporary Discourse in Criminal Law“, “Civil Liberties, Technology and State Security Claims” and “International Law, Human Rights and Development Policy“. Session titles will be finalised based on submissions, and the Committee also invites proposals for additional streams.This international one-day event has attracted promising research scholars from Ireland, the UK and Europe in the areas of law, politics, philosophy and the related social sciences.
