The 2011 Central States Law School Association (CSLSA) Annual Conference will be held Oct. 28-29, 2011, at the University of Toledo College of Law. Abstracts are due by Sept. 30, 2011.
The purpose of CSLSA is to foster scholarly exchanges among law faculty across legal disciplines. The annual CSLSA conference is a forum for legal scholars, especially more junior scholars, to present working papers or finished articles on any law-related topic in a relaxed and supportive setting where junior and senior scholars from various disciplines are available to comment. More mature scholars have an opportunity to test new ideas in a less formal setting than is generally available for their work.
Although CSLSA is a regional association, faculty from around the U.S. are encouraged to participate. nh

The University of St. Thomas Law Journal held its fall symposium, The Lawyer’s Role and Professional Formation, today, Sept. 23, 2011.
At a time of wrenching change in the legal profession, there is a pressing need to step back and ask foundational questions about the nature of the lawyer’s role in society and how that role should shape the way we educate and form lawyers. The symposium gathers many of the leading scholars who are working to help clarify our understanding of the lawyer’s work and to chart the future course of legal education. Often the more theoretical conversations about the nature of the lawyer’s role proceed separately from the more practical conversations about the future course of legal education. This symposium brings both conversations together in what promises to be an energized and productive new dialogue. This is a Medtronic Business and Law Roundtable and a Law Journal Symposium cosponsored by the Holloran Center.

Colin Miller asks: Burying the Lead?: Does a C.V. Listing “Lead Article” Status Make You Think More Favorably, Less Favorably, or No Differently About a Person?, PrawfsBlawg, Sept. 2, 2011. The consensus of Prof. Miller and the people who posted comments is unfavorable to the practice. Being the lead article often indicates nothing. And bragging about it seems, well, unseemly.
Bryan A. Garner presents his annual list of law journal bloopers and suggests a reform:
Of all the editorial reforms that a law review might adopt, the most beneficial would be to require line editors to justify their edits with brief notations citing usage guides. This policy would eliminate nearly all edits that introduce errors into manuscripts . . . .
Bryan A. Garner, Reforming the Law Reviews, Stud. Law., May 2011, at 18.
Two scholars analyze the early publishing careers of economists:
Michael J. Hilmer & Chritiana E. Hilmer, Is It Where You Go or Who You Know? On the Relationship Between Students, Ph.D. Program Quality, Dissertation Advisor Prominence, and Early Career Publishing Success, 30 Econ. Educ. Rev. 991 (2011)
Abstract: Previous research finds that both Ph.D. program quality and relative dissertation advisor prominence are positively related to early-career publishing success. We provide insight into the relative importance of those factors by estimating early-career research productivity functions that: (1) allow relative dissertation advisor prominence to vary while holding Ph.D. program quality constant and (2) allow Ph.D. program quality to vary while holding relative dissertation advisor prominence constant. Results for a sample of 2983 economics Ph.D. recipients suggest that: (1) the estimated marginal effects of relative dissertation advisor prominence do not vary systematically within top Ph.D. programs and (2) students graduating from a program-switching advisor”s higher-ranked program publish significantly more than those graduating from his or her lower-ranked program. Combined, these results might suggest that the observed correlation between dissertation advisor prominence and early-career publishing results more from students working with prominent advisors possessing the higher innate potential required to gain admission to top programs rather than strictly because they work with the more prominent advisor.
A professor of creative writing muses about scholars who say they’ve been told that they write too well. What’s really going on? Different possibilities include that the piece is overwritten or it is written well but the analysis or research are inadequate. Rachel Toor, The Problem Is: You Write to Well, Chron. Higher Educ., Sept. 6, 2011.
[I]f someone ever tells you that you write too well, ask him for an explanation and be prepared to hear something that will cause you to do more work.

Villanova Law School presents a symposium on the works of John Finnis Sept. 30, 2011.
The sixth annual John F. Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics, and Culture will celebrate and explore the achievements of John M. Finnis.For over 40 years, Finnis has pioneered the development of a new classical theory of natural law and a systematic philosophical explanation of human life that offers an integrated account of personal identity, practical reason, morality, political community, and law. The core of Finnis’s theory, articulated in his pathbreaking work Natural Law and Natural Rights (1981), has profoundly influenced later work in the philosophy of law and practical reason, while his contributions to the ethical debates surrounding nuclear deterrence, abortion, and sexuality have been a powerful and controversial exposition of the practical implications of his theory of natural law and natural rights. In 2011 Oxford University Press published a new edition of Natural Law and Natural Rights and The Collected Essays of John Finnis in five volumes.

The sixth annual John F. Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics, and Culture will celebrate and explore the achievements of John M. Finnis.For over 40 years, Finnis has pioneered the development of a new classical theory of natural law and a systematic philosophical explanation of human life that offers an integrated account of personal identity, practical reason, morality, political community, and law. The core of Finnis’s theory, articulated in his pathbreaking work Natural Law and Natural Rights (1981), has profoundly influenced later work in the philosophy of law and practical reason, while his contributions to the ethical debates surrounding nuclear deterrence, abortion, and sexuality have been a powerful and controversial exposition of the practical implications of his theory of natural law and natural rights. In 2011 Oxford University Press published a new edition of Natural Law and Natural Rights and The Collected Essays of John Finnis in five volumes.

Do you tend to assume that everything you need is on your favorite online system? A law librarian at the University of Toronto looked at which Canadian law journals were available on Lexis, Westlaw, or HeinOnline. Fewer than half of the journals were available on two or more of the platforms. See John Papadopoulos, Canadian Law Journals on Commercial Databases, SLAW, Aug. 17, 2011.

Justice Quarterly invites submissions for a special issue, Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Public Health
Studies, guest edited by Travis C. Pratt.
While there is a burgeoning field of research which studies violence and crime as a health outcome, little of that work originates from criminology and criminal justice. The goal of this special issue is to begin the discussion of health-related outcomes from within criminology and to ultimately build public health-criminology collaborations. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches are appropriate. Theoretical and analytical papers are appropriate and welcomed as well.
The submissions deadline is Dec. 31, 2011. mw

The Editorial Board of The Tennessee Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice (“RGSJ”) invites submissions for consideration in its inaugural Volume I publication.
RGSJ is a legal journal designed to utilize legal analysis and interdisciplinary research to discover new conclusions that aim to ameliorate the racial, gender, and social injustices plaguing today’s society.

Written works that will be considered for publication are case studies, case comments, narrative submissions, and articles. In the 2011-2012 academic year, RGSJ will publish one issue. Articles for the issue will be considered throughout the fall and into the early spring on a rolling basis.

Karen L. Wallace & M. Sara Lowe, HeinOnline and Law Review Citation Patterns (February 11, 2011). Law Library Journal, Vol. 103, No. 1, pp. 55-70, Winter 2011. Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1883596
The authors tested the proposition that the ubiquity of HeinOnline in law libraries would alter law review citation patterns. Has HeinOnline’s provision of the full runs of law reviews in full text led to more citations to older materials? This article reports the results of the study they undertook to test this theory.
