Call for contributions for two-volume Treatise on Legal Visual Semiotics, Anne Wagner, Sophie Cacciaguidi-Fahy and Richard Sherwin, eds.
The overall aim of the proposed two volumes is to fill the gap between law, semiotics and visuality. As an original
project, its aim is to provide a comprehensive analytical overview of legal visual semiotics. The two volumes will endeavor to adopt a comparative perspective with a view to identifying a common ground for semiotics analyses of the converging and/or merging aspects of law and the visual.
Contributions should reflect the interdisciplinary nature of legal semiotics research. They should focus on:
- Theories and conceptualization of legal visual semiotics
- Pictorial semiotics and law
- Visuality of legal language
- Media and the law
Expression of interest should be addressed by e-mail to: valwagnerfr@yahoo.com. Abstracts should be submitted by February 15, 2009.
Full details available at SSRN.

The William and Mary Law Review presents a symposium, The Boundaries of Intellectual Property, on February 6-7, 2009. This symposium addresses the question of the proper goals of IP law and whether the scope of our current system aligns with those goals.
As the scope of intellectual property law continues to expand, courts and scholars are increasingly confronting the question of the law’s proper boundaries. Is it appropriate, for example, for content owners to use copyright law to silence unflattering speech? Are countries’ trademark laws, which have historically been geographically limited, now essentially global trademark laws given the use of marks over the Internet? Is it consistent with the goals of patent law for the U.S. government, through the Patent and Trademark Office, to define the boundaries of what is patentable based on moral or other non-innovation-related criteria? Although such questions have been the topic of debate in the past, there has not yet been an attempt to take a systemic, unifying approach to the question of boundaries in IP law. This symposium will provide the opportunity for participants to do just that, yielding new scholarship that directly addresses the question of the proper goals of IP law and whether the scope of our current system aligns with those goals.
