National Security Law Junior Faculty Workshop (Winston-Salem, NC, May 23, 2008):
Wake Forest University School of Law and the Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School announce a workshop for military and civilian junior faculty working in the area of national security law (broadly understood to include the full range of constitutional, statutory, and international law concepts implicated by national security issues). Our aim is to provide an informal setting for participants to present and discuss works-in-progress, for civilian and JAG faculty to get to know one another, and for civilian faculty to receive instruction from JAG faculty concerning current issues in the law of war.
The call for papers deadline is April 4, 2008.

The Wake Forest Law Review will hold its twenty-first annual Business Law Symposium on the topic of U.S. Government Efforts to Suppress Terrorism Financing on Friday, April 4, 2008, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
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.
