Junior Faculty - Writing Competition re Takings and “Givings” - Pacific Legal Found.

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.

Subprime Crisis - Hartford, CT

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).
