The Promise of Law: Political Claims and the Boundary of Justice - Cork

The Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights at University College Cork is pleased to announce its third annual postgraduate conference. The theme for this year’s event is “The Promise of Law: Political Claims and the Boundaries of Justice.” The conference will take place on April 30th 2009.The conference will focus on the intersection of law and politics and the tensions between liberty and political expediency in view of contemporary challenges to civil and human rights principles. This international one-day conference will attract promising research scholars from Ireland, the UK and Europe. Although a young event, it has become a significant fixture on the Irish legal calendar, and the Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights has established a reputation for excellence in this area of scholarship.

We are especially interested in papers that relate to human rights, criminal justice or the intersection of these fields. However, we also welcome papers dealing with issues outside these areas that fall within the broad theme of the conference. It is envisaged that the best papers delivered at the conference may be published online.

The keynote address will be delivered by Barbara Hudson, Professor in Law at Lancashire Law School, whose areas of expertise include cosmopolitan theories of justice and feminist jurisprudence. The closing address will be delivered by Maleiha Malik, Reader in Law at King’s College London, who has written extensively on discrimination law, minority protection and feminist theory.

Please submit an abstract (max. 300 words) to the organising committee by Friday February 13th 2009. Successful conference submissions will be notified by February 27th 2008. Submissions and further enquires should be directed to ucclawconf@gmail.com.

Iraq and Back: Legal Implications for Returning Soldiers - Boston

On March 28, 2008, the New England Journal on Criminal and Civil Confinement will host Iraq and Back: Legal Implications for Returning Soldiers.

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are considered the most sustained combat operations since the Vietnam War, and there are heightened concerns for long term mental implications and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Because PTSD has consequently been linked to increases in criminal behavior, and at times this criminal behavior is directly connected to the trauma suffered, the legal system is facing new challenges in addressing how to best rehabilitate and sanction criminal offenders.

Paper submissions are still being accepted.
