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.

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.

The Connecticut Law Review will host a symposium, The Subprime Crisis: Moving Forward, at the University of Connecticut School of Law.
The standard subprime conference focuses on yesterday’s issues - i.e., definitions of subprime loans and why the subprime crisis happened. In this conference, in contrast, we will focus on the challenges that lie before us. It came as a shock to policymakers around the world that this seemingly obscure corner of the U.S. consumer credit market morphed into global contagion. Similarly, the United States is groping toward solutions to revive the credit markets and resolve millions of foreclosures. Necessarily, the symposium will be interdisciplinary in nature, involving the intersection of economics, finance, and law.
Symposium editors are John Herrington (john.herrington[at]huskymail.uconn.edu) and Kathryn Foley (kfoley5385[at]gmail.com).

The St. John’s University School of Law Child Advocacy Clinic hosts a symposium, No Place to Live: The Housing Crisis Facing Youth Aging-Out of Foster Care, March 28, 2008. A PDF flyer is here.
The School of Law is bringing together distinguished scholars and practitioners from diverse disciplines, including policy makers, affordable housing professionals and advocates for children and the homeless, to discuss the housing crisis that is facing adolescents as they exit foster care around the country. Young people experiencing this crisis will also play a vital role. We will engage in expert dialogue which both raises awareness and explores concrete solutions to this critical national issue.

Spoils of War v. Cultural Heritage: The Russian Cultural Property Law in Historical Context is sponsored by Harvard Law School Arts & Literature Law Society;
Commission for Art Recovery; Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University; Foundation for International Cultural Diplomacy; Harvard Law School European Law Research Center, Feb. 8-9, 2008, at Harvard.
After WWII, Soviet authorities, seeking reparations for the extensive costs of Nazi aggression, used special “Trophy Brigades” to empty museums, castles, and salt mines in Germany and Eastern Europe, transporting millions of cultural treasures to the USSR. These included German state-owned cultural objects, cultural objects taken from churches and synagogues, as well as a great deal of private property that had been looted by the Germans from individuals. The art works taken back to the Soviet Union were held in relative secrecy for years, until the final years of glastnost (Гла́сность). As European countries started to demand their cultural treasures and archives, Russian legislators passed a law that potentially nationalizes all cultural treasures brought to Russia at the end of World War II. In 1999 the Constitutional Court issued an opinion basically upholding the law. How do these actions comport with international law? What are the chances for restitution of these displaced cultural valuables?
