The Executive Committee of the AALS Section on Civil Procedure invites the submission of papers for presentation at the Annual Meeting of the AALS January 4-8, 2012, in Washington, D.C.
The topic of our panel (Jan. 6, 8:30-12:15) will be “Procedural Reform: Rulemaking v. Legislation.” Procedural reform has enjoyed (or suffered from, depending on one’s point of view) considerable attention in recent years. Procedural topics are in the mainstream media. Supreme Court cases have reformed bedrock principles. Rulemakers regularly debate amendments to an ever-expanding corpus of rules. And the legislative branch seeks to undo some reforms while initiating still others.
Papers presented by the panel will put this constellation of procedural reforms into a broader perspective. The debate about whether procedural reform is more properly the province of rulemakers or lawmakers is neither new nor, perhaps, even resolvable. Yet it remains relevant-urgent, even, given the stakes. We invite the submission of papers that address this topic in whole or in part. Papers that address the topic in whole might, for example, consider the use of empirical evidence as an engine for procedural reform. Or institutional choice theory might be applied to the procedural landscape. Even if your work addresses the topic only in part, we encourage you to submit it; we will be selecting papers so that the panel, considered as a whole, will generate a dialogue to explore the broader issues.
Drafts of the papers submitted for consideration must be received by September 1, 2011. Submissions should be sent to tmain[at]pacific.edu. Papers already accepted for publication will be considered.

We at the Legal Scholarship Blog routinely look for information about conferences. When we are sent information to post, we try to link to the sponsoring organization’s website and give you ways to find more information.
While trying to track down information related to one conference notice, I found a warning that some email invitations to conferences (including the one I had in front of me) are scams from made-up organizations. The notice is from the Union of International Associations (a legitimate organization listed in UNESCO‘s database of NGOs).
An increasing number of email scams are using NGOs, International NGOs, development agencies, meetings, international conferences etc as the hook to defraud or cheat unsuspecting recipients.Always use caution when responding to or acting on unsolicited bulk email or paper mail.
The Union of International Associations is monitoring these fraudulent announcements and has a list posted on its site. Many of the organizations and conference titles—climate change, human trafficking, HIV/AIDS, and so on—sound very good, but the notices are fraudulent nonetheless. Read email critically. mw

International University College of Turin and the Institute for the Study of Political Economy and Law present Common Core of European Private Law (17th General Meeting) June 16-18, 2011, in Turin, Italy.
Since the crash of the markets in 2008 and overt failure of the Copenhagen summit, the inadequacy of state and market mechanisms to address the most pressing problems of our time has become increasingly apparent and alarming. The current moment, therefore, finds activists, scholars and policy makers urgently searching for new strategies and tactics to not only retool, but also possibly restructure institutional arrangements in domestic and global settings. Over the last couple decades, the rhetoric of “the Commons” has become an increasingly frequent heuristic and mobilizing technique.
