The Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics and Public Policy invites academics, practitioners and policymakers to submit an article, essay, or speech for possible publication in our Spring 2010 symposium issue. Our Journal’s unique approach focuses each issue on one pertinent legal or policy topic and explores the ethical issues related to that topic. In Spring 2010, the Journal will address “Urban Development in the Twenty-First Century.” The deadline for drafts is January 15, 2010.
The mission of the Journal is to explore the legal, ethical, and policy considerations of each topic within the framework of the Judeo-Christian intellectual and moral tradition. We seek to publish authors who address that tradition while forming a compelling analysis of issues relevant to the current legal landscape. Past contributors include presidents, Supreme Court justices, congressmen, religious leaders, professors and other prominent figures from within their respective fields.
Interested authors may submit an optional abstract for review and feedback before the submission deadline. Submissions should include a cover letter, resume, and a copy of the manuscript. Please direct inquiries and submissions to Kathleen Donovan, Solicitation Editor, at kdonova5 [at] nd.edu, or submit by ExpressO to the Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics and Public Policy. mw

On November 6-7, 2008, the Georgetown Environmental Law & Policy Institute at Georgetown University Law Center and Stanford Law School’s Environmental and Natural Resources Law & Policy Program will host the 11th Annual Conference on Litigating Takings and Related Legal Challenges to Land Use and Environmental Regulation.
The conference, to be held at Stanford Law School, will examine how the Takings Clause and related legal doctrines may undermine the public’s ability to address emerging environmental, public health, and growth management challenges. A particular focus of this year’s conference will be the potential takings implications of public policy initiatives designed to mitigate and adapt to global warming. The conference will also address recent legal developments in takings law and related fields, including the latest legal and policy fall out from the Supreme Court’s landmark decisions in Lingle v. Chevron USA and Kelo v. City of New London. Another featured topic will be future prospects for property rights ballot measures along the lines of Propositions 98 and 99 in California and other states.
Conference faculty will include a mix of leading academic scholars and expert practitioners. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Stanford Environmental Law Journal.

The Pacific Legal Foundation’s Program for Judicial Awareness will award $10,000 to one junior faculty member for an original contribution to legal scholarship on the following question.
The Fifth Amendment mandates that government may not take private property for public use without payment of just compensation. Some legal commentators have argued that the law of governmental takings should be balanced by a theory of “givings,” such that compensation for the taking of property should be offset by the amount of value attributable to the existence of general governmental programs and services. Explain why the “givings” rationale is inconsistent with the purpose and function of the Takings Clause.
The deadline for submissions is May 30, 2008. Details about the competition are here.
