Aging in the US: The Next Civil Rights Movement? – Philadelphia, PA
| October 22, 2011 |
Temple Law School and the Temple Political and Civil Rights Law Review host Aging in the US: The Next Civil Rights Movement? Oct. 22, 2011.
In this Symposium, we explore elder law and aging policy from a civil rights perspective and begin the important task of rethinking equality across the lifespan. Over twenty leading scholars and advocates will engage cutting edge public policy issues regarding health care, guardianships, caregiving, institutionalized elders, and the special needs of minority populations. The goal of the Symposium is to move the national conversation surrounding aging beyond the traditional elder law topics of estate planning, benefit eligibility, and health care financing and ask whether elder rights should be the next civil rights movement.

Albany Law School presents Africa and International Law: Taking Stock and Moving Forward April 13-14, 2012. The conference is co-sponsored by The African Interest Group of the American Society of International Law. Abstracts are due by Sept. 30, 2011.
A major objective of the conference will be to engage in a broad ranging conversation among scholars, practitioners and policy-makers to examine and evaluate how these international and regional regimes and institutions in Africa are producing new narratives of justice and how best they can make a real difference in responding to the challenges facing African peoples and governments.Abstracts and papers are invited on a broad range of themes including the French intervention in Cote D’Ivoire, the NATO/US allied action in Libya, the fledgling jurisprudence of regional integration tribunals as well as piracy trials being conducted under universal jurisdiction, the race for African resources by China and other countries. Thus, a broad range of themes from public to private international law, as well as international and regional economic and trade legal systems and policies will be explored at the conference and abstracts and papers are invited.
In addition, papers and abstracts are invited to examine one of the reigning paradigms of African international legal scholarship that has argued that Africa has been and continues to be an innovator and generator of institutions and rules of international law, rather than its passive recipient. Papers and abstracts examining the tenability of claims that Africa is wholly disadvantaged and ineffectual in regimes such as international arbitration and trade as well as the extent to which such regimes have reinforced Africa’s peripheral location in the international political economy are invited.
Selected papers presented at the conference will be published in the inaugural issue of a new international law journal which will serve as an authoritative mouthpiece of the African international law experience.

Friday’s Scholarship About Scholarship – Addendum
At Concurring Opinions, a guest blogger who just finished his term as articles editor for the University of Chicago Law Review invites readers to ask him the editors’ perspective on the law review submissions process. David Schraub, Ask an Articles Editor!, Concurring Opinions, Aug. 5, 2011. Topics raised so far:
- the timing of submissions and acceptances
- the openness of journals to submissions by students from other schools
- the handling of requests to expedite review
- the reasons for running a symposium
- whether the review is pressured to accept articles from its own school’s faculty
- advice about cover letters
- how editors view papers posted on SSRN
- the odds of acceptance once a paper has made it to editorial board review
Prof. Schraub will be writing posts in response to these questions next week. mw
Friday’s Scholarship About Scholarship
The Supreme Court and Legal Scholarship
Petherbridge, Lee and Schwartz, David L., An Empirical Assessment of the Supreme Court’s Use of Legal Scholarship (July 12, 2011). Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1884462
Derogating legal scholarship has become something of a sport for leading figures in the federal judiciary. Perhaps the chief antagonist in recent years has been none other than the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John G. Roberts Jr. His most recent salvo includes the claim that because law review articles are not of interest to the bench, he has trouble remembering the last law review article he read. This claim, and others by the Chief Justice, may represent the end of an uneasy détente concerning the topic of the utility of legal scholarship to the bench and bar. At a minimum, Justice Roberts’s recent comments represent a vigorous invitation to a discussion, which this article accepts. To that discussion we contribute an empirical study that is based on an original and unprecedented body of data derived from every Supreme Court decision over the last sixty-one years. This article presents several surprising results and makes two major novel contributions. The first is evidence describing the amount and patterns of the Supreme Court’s use of legal scholarship over the last sixty-one years. The second, and perhaps most striking contribution of this article, is empirical evidence on the nature and quality of the Court’s use of scholarship. This article provides the first report, as far as we can determine, of evidence that the Supreme Court not only often uses legal scholarship, it also disproportionately uses scholarship when cases are either more important or more difficult to decide. It thus presents results strongly counterintuitive to claims that scholarship is useless or irrelevant to judges and practitioners. The article also discusses areas for future work.

Elizabeth Mertz, Frances Tung, Katherine Barnes, Wamucii Njogu, Molly Heiler, Joanne Martin, After Tenure: Post-Tenure Law Professors in the United States (American Bar Foundation 2011)
The After Tenure Study, jointly funded by the ABF and LSAC, is the first in-depth examination of the lives of post-tenure law professors in the United States. It combines a national survey of post-tenure law professors in the U.S. (undertaken in 2005-2006) with a set of follow-up interviews (conducted with a subset of the survey respondents in 2007-2008). A total of 1175 professors responded to the initial survey; their responses provide the basis of this Project Report, which contains descriptive statistics from our first quantitative analyses. Future reports and articles will provide further quantitative and qualitative results.
p. 9.
In addition to their teaching and research duties, tenured law professors also reported devoting time to advancing their careers. Over one-third of our sample “often” attended professional conferences and communicated with colleagues in their field. About 36% of the law professors in our survey reported that they “often” send out reprints, usually to a selected network rather than to a broad mailing list. Some professors said they gave talks at other schools.
