For those who have not been to MLEA before, you need not be a midwesterner, nor an economist; the event consists of law professors and economists presenting papers with varying degrees of law and economics content, ranging from empirical analyses and formal economic modeling to legal philosophy and doctrinal papers infused with economic thinking. There is no membership or registration fee.
This year’s meeting is sponsored by the University of Colorado Law School as well as its Silicon Flatirons Center for Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. Presentations will start Friday morning and end mid-late Saturday afternoon; there will be an on-campus dinner and reception Friday night, as well as an informal off-campus dinner Saturday night following the end of the conference.
Submissions: To submit a presentation, email scott.moss [at] colorado.edu with an abstract or paper by September 1, 2010.

Emergency Regulation under the Threat of a Catastrophe: a Hard Look at the Volcanic Ash Crisis will be a two-day workshop at HEC Paris, Nov. 10-11, 2010. Abstracts are due Sept. 15, 2010. A selection of papers will be published in the European Journal of Risk Regulation.
The recent Iceland volcanic ash crisis epitomizes the general problem of emergency response in a world of uncertain manufactured and natural risks. A cloud of volcanic ash preventing travelling across an entire continent probably did not feature in the risk-management scenarios of many firms. No surprise that the immediate and drastic regulatory response which followed soon became an uneven political dispute between industry economic power and regulatory science, with consumers caught in the middle. Regulatory systems designed for careful deliberation and cooperative action had to respond almost instantly to a barrage of data arguments and conflicting legal interpretations, with threats of litigation on one side and the risk of loss of human life on the other.
There will be no cost for presenters to attend the workshop. Both their accommodation and reasonable travelling costs will be covered. mw

The University of Mississippi’s Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS) and the London School of Economics’ Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science (CNSS) are pleased to host the second Beyond Rationality Workshop July 7-9, 2010.
The Beyond Rationality Workshop series is a project of the CNSS at the London School of Economics in collaboration with the CISS at the University of Mississippi. The first workshop was held in London on November 21, 2009.
The recent banking crisis and the rise of religious fundamentalism as a political cause have prompted people to reflect on the seeming irrationality of thinking relevant to these events. These examples join a host of other occasions when the thoughts and actions of people seem to be irrational. Drawing on the notion that “one person’s irrationality is another’s rationality,” this event explores the boundaries of ‘rationality’ from different points of view as illuminated by philosophical or psychological studies such as akrasia, weakness of will, and formal fallacies.
Beyond Rationality II aims to continue the exploration of the meaning of ideas related to rationality in discussions of contemporary problems such as economic decisions, the recruitment of jihadists, terrorism, the banking crisis, risk assessment, conflict resolution, and the climate change debate.

Rutgers School of Law - Newark, Women’s Rights Law Reporter would like to introduce the topic of our Fall 2009 Symposium, occurring on Friday, November 13, 2009: Women In Economics, Where are We Today?
This symposium is focused on the recent downturn in our economy, and how our latest economic crisis has had an effect on women. We invite discussion on topics such as: women in the workplace today; women’s positions in our economic sphere as it stands today and, possibly, as compared with ten years ago; women’s ability to obtain loans for either small businesses, homes, or the like; the bailout and its effect on women; all current legal issues associated with women and economics, and finally, differing feminist perspectives on where the women of today are headed in the future in terms of this economy. This is a fairly broad topic, but our main concern to answer the question of where this recent economic crisis has left women today, and the legal battles that they may be facing in the future.
We invite proposals for articles, essays and book reviews in conjunction with this symposium topic, however, such proposals are not required for participation in this event. Also, publication of any article, essay or book review is subject to the quality of the piece, and is within the sole discretion of our editors.
We welcome brief submissions of 250 words or less as to what issues you would be able to speak on concerning our Fall 2009 Symposium. I expect to get back to potential speakers as soon as possible, as this event if fast approaching. Please feel free to contact me. Christine Burke, Symposium Editor (burke.christine5 [at] gmail.com).
