The Innocence Network and the Ohio Innocence Project at the University of Cincinnati College of Law will host the first-ever conference dedicated to exploring the phenomenon of wrongful conviction of the innocent in the international arena. This event, An International Exploration of Wrongful Conviction, will take place April 8-10, 2011. The objective of the conference will be to bring selected scholars, lawyers and exonerees from around the world together in one place to interact and learn from one another. The hope is that the conference will galvanize the innocence movement into a unified international human rights movement.
The University of Cincinnati Law Review will publish a symposium issue in connection with the conference. And the Freedom Center Journal, will publish a special issue dedicated solely to essays, poetry and visual art created by exonerees, as well as letters from prison written by inmates who were later exonerated or who claim innocence. The Freedom Center Journal is a scholarly publication of the University of Cincinnati College of Law and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

The Australian and New Zealand Law and History Society’s 29th Annual Conference will be “Owning the Past: Whose Past? Whose Present?” It will take place Dec. 13-15, 2010, in Melbourne, Australia.
The use and study of the past is constantly being refashioned and reinterpreted to construct meaning in the present, imparting understandings of a common but chaotic humanity. Because everyone and no one ‘owns’ history, the ownership of historical events and the right to speak of them remains deeply contested. What are the outcomes and practical challenges surrounding the construction of historical consciousness through and about law? Whose past is told and by whom? How does law’s past influence history’s present? And is there any such thing as the orderly evolution of legal ideas? This conference invites papers on the subject of ownership in history and law, and may include contributions on any of several broad themes: the contestation of memory; the ethics of representation and remembrance; the commoditization and consumption of traumatic pasts; transcultural and transgenerational trauma; new technologies of historical documentation; testimony and bearing witness; Indigenous knowledge; identity politics; citizenship; the ethics of reproducing historical narratives; colonialism and hegemony; ‘dark’ tourism and artefacts of law; and new legal imaginings and the contest with the legal past.This is an interdisciplinary conference and papers are invited from scholars across a broad range of disciplines, as well as chronological and geographical contexts.
