Washington and Lee University School of Laws Law and History Center, in partnership with Virginia Sea Grant, will host a symposium on Climate Change in the Former Colonies: Challenges of Property and History, on October 12, 2012. A collection of papers from the conference will be published as a volume of the Sea Grant Law and Policy Journal.
Recognizing the unique impact that the colonial legal experience continues to have on Eastern states, the symposium will focus on the application of legal historical research to contemporary problems and opportunities in the areas of policy-making, property rights, and hazard resilience in coastal communities.
Deadlines: All proposals are due by June 30, 2012. Articles must be submitted by October 1, 2012. Final articles will be due November 16, 2012, with proofreading and cite checking to follow and publication in December or January.
Email proposals should be sent to Dr. Jill Fraley at fraleyj[@]wlu.edu. Each proposal should include a 200 word abstract, paper title, and author(s) name(s), affiliations. im
