Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts is seeking submissions for its March 2012 issue, Land Ownership and Tenure. The deadline for submissions has been extended to Nov. 1, 2011.
UN-Habitat, The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, concluded that more than one billion people live without any security of tenure in informal settlements in “developing” countries. If “land is not just a resource to be exploited, but a crucial vehicle for the achievement of improved socioeconomic, biological, and physical environments” (FAO), then access to land ensures the security and health of the poor. The politics of access to and exploitation of land and natural resources assume fundamental relations of power control and the policy of social inclusion; however, both notions imply and consolidate that access to land and land ownership, particularly in the Global South, reflect broader patterns of intra-institutional dynamics that explain how marginality and socio-political exclusion take place within countries and on the global stage.

Richard A. Danner, Kiril Kolev & Marguerite I. Most, Print or Perish? Authors’ Attitudes Toward Electronic-Only Publication of Law Journals (July 15, 2011). Available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1886445
An increasing number of U.S. law journals post at least current issues in freely accessible PDF and (in some cases) HTML formats on their web sites. Yet, perhaps without exception, the journals that make their articles freely available on their websites also continue to publish print issues in the face of declining subscription numbers, and law libraries’ growing disinterest in collecting and preserving journals in print. As universities reduce staff, freeze open positions, eliminate salary increases, and cut library budgets, why have law schools continued to subsidize print publication of journals that are accessible in electronic formats? Among the reasons suggested for this is the possible impact of electronic-only publishing on a journal’s reputation and ability to attract authors. This paper reports on the results of a survey of law journal authors’ attitudes toward electronic-only law journals.

The Centre for Comparative and Public Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific Business Regulation Group at Monash University will co-host a workshop on Resolving Land Disputes in East Asia on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011.
This workshop will investigate the role and limits of law in resolving land disputes in greater China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) and Vietnam. Speakers will examine how courts (and other dispute resolution fora) use law and/or other regulatory sources to resolve disputes about ownership and access to land. Land taking cases will be investigated from the perspective of conflicting understandings about land ownership and tenure rights. More particularly some of the speakers will investigate to what extent dispute resolution fora draw on guidance from outside the juridical framework to resolve disputes.
All are welcome.

The editors of the Socio-Legal Review invite submissions by students and scholars. The deadline for submission for volume 8 (2012) is Nov. 15, 2011.
The Journal subscribes to an expansive view on the interpretation of “law and society” thereby keeping its basic criteria for contributions simply that of high academic merit, as long as there is a perceivable link. This would include not just writing about the role played by law in social change, or the role played by social dynamics in the formulation and implementation of law, but also writing that simply takes cognizance of legal institutions/ institutions of governance/ administration, power structures in social commentary and so on. Through this effort, the journal also hopes to fill the lacunae relating to academic debate on socio-legal matters among law students.
The editors seek Articles (up to 8000 words), Short Articles (up to 5000 words), and Notes from the Field (shorter pieces designed to provide a glimpse into a new legal strategy, political initiative or advocacy technique applied in the field, a current problem or obstacle faced in, legal reform or development work, or a new issue that has not yet received much attention and needs to be brought to light) (up to 3000 words). See Author Guidelines on the journal’s website. mw

Curtis Nyquist, Single-Case Research and the History of American Legal Thought, 45 New Eng. L. Rev. 589 (2011), available at http://www.nesl.edu/userfiles/file/lawreview/Vol45/3/589-624_Nyquist%20FINAL.pdf.
The history of American legal thought provides a foundation for a discussion of the value of single‐case scholarship. Many states have rich archival material that can be an enormous resource for single‐case scholarship, but the true value of this material to legal understanding has long been overshadowed by the casebook method of instruction. Using the court records of two early nineteenth‐century Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court contract opinions, Gray v. Gardner and Mills v. Wyman, this Article provides a template for those interested in undertaking single‐case research. While contract law has led the way, single‐case research has proven equally fruitful in other private law areas. Thus, through the eye of contract law, this Article provides a lens on the theoretical significance of single‐case scholarship for all areas of research.
Michelle M. Harner & Jason A. Cantone, Is Legal Scholarship Out of Touch? An Empirical Analysis of the Use of Scholarship in Business Law Cases, 19 U. Miami Bus. L. Rev. 1 (2011), available at http://ssrn.com/abstract=1648987.
Commentators have observed two apparent trends in the use of legal scholarship by the judiciary. First, judges now cite law review articles in their opinions with less frequency. Second, despite this general decline in the invocation of legal scholarship, judges now cite articles in specialty journals with more frequency.Some commentators attribute the apparent decline in the courts’ use of legal scholarship to the increasingly theoretical and impractical nature of that scholarship. A few studies even suggest that the increasing use of specialty journals by the courts reflects the gap between the content of legal scholarship in general law reviews and the practical needs of the judiciary. Others defend the academy, taking the position that academics continue to write meaningful doctrinal articles and that theoretical and interdisciplinary pieces encourage broader intellectual discourse regarding legal issues.
This study analyzes and refutes the claim of the diminishing role of legal scholarship in the context of business law cases. Specifically, the study focuses on the use of legal scholarship by Delaware state courts from 1997 to 2007 and then on an interval basis dating to 1965. The study finds no general downward trend in the use of legal scholarship in business law cases. Moreover, the study undertakes a detailed analysis of factors predicting a court’s likelihood to cite legal scholarship. Overall, the study provides a unique insight into when, why and how courts invoke legal scholarship in business law cases and, consequently, may help inform future scholarship intended to influence court decisions in this discipline.

The Journal of Hate Studies has issued a call for papers on the topic of “Hate and Political Discourse” for Volume X, No. 1 (2012/13). The deadline for submissions is March 15, 2012.
Often shielded by constitutional rules and nurtured by political discourse, hate has a mercurial existence in the popular imagination. In the “arena of angry minds,” as Richard Hofstadter called American political life, political actors sometimes choose to condemn hatred, distance themselves from it, appeal to its existence, or foment it. Even when subjugation, discrimination, or violence is not the goal, the politics of hate can pay off. Rather than seeking its total eradication, many democracies assume the permanence of hate and seek to minimize its excesses or to punish and prohibit specific expressions. Are such assumptions well-founded, and such strategies wise? Jump to full post

Melbourne Doctoral Forum on Legal Theory will host the fourth annual workshop bringing together higher research students and early career researchers, who in different disciplines and across diverse fields of scholarship, engage with law and its theoretical and methodological questions.
This year we embark on an investigation of law and its accidents, because to critically engage with legal theory is not only to track the modalities of law, but also to probe its interstices. It is to expose law’s fault lines and its exceptions, its interruptions and its crises, but also its coincidences and serendipities. This workshop will try not just to prod those fragile points where law buckles and sways, but attempt to build new jurisprudential approaches to understanding the happenstances of law. The accidents of law are neither novel nor exemplary. They often appear subtly in the narrative of a judgment, the methodologies of legal scholarship and the ceremonies of justice. In law the accident never just happens; it is embedded in the forms and materialities of law. Send abstracts of 500 words and biographies of 100 words to law-mdflt@unimelb.edu.au by Monday, 19 September 2011. Jump to full post

What is the purpose of legal scholarship? The foreword to the University of Michigan Law Review’s book review issue provides an excellent occasion for addressing this question. This in turn requires considering who are the audiences for legal scholarship and what should count as legal scholarship. This essay offers thoughts and suggestions on these important topics.
Newton, Brent Evan, Preaching What They Don’t Practice: Why Law Faculties’ Preoccupation with Impractical Scholarship and Devaluation of Practical Competencies Obstruct Reform in the Legal Academy (July 22, 2010). South Carolina Law Review, Forthcoming. Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1706051
In response to decades of complaints that American law schools have failed to prepare students to practice law, several prominent and respected authorities on legal education, including the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, recently have proposed significant curricular and pedagogical changes in order to bring American legal education into the twenty-first century. It will not be possible to implement such proposed curricular and pedagogical reforms if law schools continue their trend of primarily hiring and promoting tenure-track faculty members whose chief mission is to produce theoretical, increasingly interdisciplinary scholarship for law reviews rather than prepare students to practice law. Such impractical scholars, because they have little or no experience in the legal profession and further because they have been hired primarily to write law review articles rather than primarily to teach, lack the skill set necessary to teach students how to become competent, ethical practitioners. The recent economic recession, which did not spare the legal profession, has made the complaints about American law schools’ failure to prepare law students to enter the legal profession even more compelling; law firms no longer can afford to hire entry-level attorneys who lack the basic skills required to practice law effectively. This essay proposes significant changes in both faculty composition and law reviews aimed at enabling law schools to achieve the worthy goals of reformists such as the Carnegie Foundation.

Those engaged in legal scholarship should strive for intellectual honesty and avoid plagiarism, but what exactly is required? This article explores plagiarism from the perspective of professors, judges, and practicing attorneys and discusses topics such as reuse of one’s own previously published writing, authorship, and the difference between plagiarism and copyright infringement.
