Call for Papers, Panelists Deadline: NE People of Color – America’s New Class Warfare? – Buffalo

The Northeast People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference (NEPOC) 2009 will take place October 23-25 at the University at Buffalo Law School in Buffalo, New York.

During last year’s NEPOC, we experienced the monumental collapse of Lehman Brothers and subsequently, our financial and real estate sectors. Our nation and economy have been suffering since that time and there have been many interesting changes. This year our theme is “America’s New Class Warfare?”

For more details on the theme, please see the conference webpage.

Instead of relying solely on invitations, this year’s NEPOC will also do a call for papers for the plenary panels. In addition, we are seeking works in progress, leaders for professional development workshops and nominees for the Haywood Burns – Shanara Gilbert Awards. The deadline for the submission of all these materials is June 30.
