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.

The Wisconsin Journal of Law, Gender & Society announces its 2012 Symposium, When Gender Norms Become Law: Recognizing and Correcting for Gender Bias, which will take place Feb. 10, 2012. Abstracts are due Oct. 1, 2012.
We are seeking original scholarship, from both scholars and practitioners, addressing ways in which gender norms are reflected in legislation, judicial precedent, and administrative findings. Ideally, proposals would highlight:
- An analysis of the inherent and functional gender biases in these policies and practices and
- Recommendations as to how the same policies could be pursued without the resulting gender disparity.
Topics could include: findings of fact that shape evolving areas of law, the role of social sciences in evidence, and differing approaches to gender considerations across legal systems. Interested parties should send an abstract to WJLGS.Symposium [at] gmail.com by October 1, 2011. Those selected for the Symposium will be notified by November 2011. The Journal’s Symposium issue will be published in Fall 2012. Questions may be addressed to Symposium Editor Meredith Davis at mdavis7 [at] wisc.edu.

The Oregon Law Review host a symposium called “Miller’s Courts: Media, Rules, Policy, and the Future of Access to Justice” April 13, 2012. At this event, we will honor Professor Arthur Miller’s diverse professional achievements while facilitating substantive discussions on modern access challenges in the civil system. We would like the event to be a sort of intense festshrift, an opportunity both to celebrate his career and to engage the kinds of issues he has worked on throughout his career.
To that end, we are soliciting submissions that either (1) focus on specific contributions of Professor Miller with respect to access to justice inside and outside the legal academy, or (2) speculate as to future trends and possible issues relating to access in the civil system.
Submissions must be received by Jan. 2, 2012.
