Mortgage Foreclosure Crisis — Fayetteville, AR

The Arkansas Law Review invites submissions for its 2012 Annual Symposium to be held on Fri., November 9, 2012, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The topic of the symposium will focus on the mortgage foreclosure crisis.

The University of Arkansas School of Law is delighted to host Professor Dale Whitman as a Visiting Professor for the 2012-2013 academic year. His scholarship has informed the direction of our symposium. Abstracts are due Oct. 1, 2012.

The first issue of Volume 66 will be devoted to the Symposium and will be published in early spring 2013. We encourage articles analyzing both the causes and effects of the crisis from a regulatory perspective and a homeowner perspective. We would also appreciate forward-looking articles that posit solutions and preventive measures.

Authors should submit an abstract and a cover letter to rewright@email.uark.edu. The deadline for submissions of article proposals is October 1, 2012. Please feel free to email Robin Wright at rewright@email.uark.edu with any questions.
