The Charleston Law Review, the flagship law review of the Charleston School of Law, invites submissions for its Supreme Court Preview issue. We welcome an article or essay addressing a case before the Court in its October 2009 Term, or in the alternative, addressing an aspect of the Court itself such as recent voting trends, case load, an analysis of a particular Justice, or any other topic related to the Supreme Court.
Last year, our Supreme Court Preview included a diverse spectrum of works ranging from articles that examined cases argued in the Court’s October 2008 Term to articles that analyzed current voting trends among the Court. For example, in Crime Labs and Prison Guards: A Comment on Melendez-Diaz and Its Potential Impact on Capital Sentencing Proceedings, John Blume and Emily Paavola argued that the Court’s decision in Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts could resolve conflicting authority on what constitutes testimonial hearsay under Crawford v. Washington and could have a dramatic impact on the criminal justice system, particularly capital sentencing proceedings. Alternatively, in The Roberts Court and Criminal Justice at the Dawn of the 2008 Term, Professors Christopher E. Smith, Michael A. McCall, and Madhavi M. McCall introduced empirical decision-making patterns from the initial three terms of the Roberts Court in an attempt to ascertain how the Court would likely determine three Fourth Amendment cases in the Court’s October 2008 Term.
The Supreme Court Preview is published to coincide with the opening of the October Term 2009, and we therefore ask that work be submitted no later than August 1, 2009. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning July 1, 2009. Please direct submissions and any questions about our Supreme Court Preview to Ben Garner, Editor in Chief, via email at bgarner [at] charlestonlaw.edu or via telephone at (434) 941-9831.

The AALS Section on Law and Computers invites you to submit a request to present on the topic of “Law and Wikis” at the Section’s session at the 2010 AALS Annual Meeting, to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 6-10, 2010.
This panel will explore the interaction between law and wiki technologies, including Wikipedia. Example topics might include:
- Ownership of content created using wikis
- Who (if anyone) is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of wiki-generated content?
- Wikipedia governance structures
- Should the legal regulation of wikis differ from other Internet communications technologies?
- Wikis and deliberative democracy
- The use of wikis in legal pedagogy
Selected speakers must submit a paper to AALS prior to the Annual Meeting for posting to the AALS website; those papers may be accepted for publication in other venues so long as the paper is not published before the Annual Meeting. The Section hopes to place the group of selected speakers’ papers in a to-be-designated law journal. Selected speakers must bear their own travel and conference registration expenses.
How to Apply: Please email your presentation proposal to the section chair, Professor Eric Goldman (egoldman@gmail.com), Santa Clara University School of Law, no later than April 6, 2009, noon Pacific time. Proposals should include name, professional title, professional affiliation(s), contact information, presentation title, short abstract (less than 500 words please), estimated length of the paper, and (if applicable) any information about the paper’s publication status. Abstracts will be reviewed by a working group of the AALS Law & Computers Section, and selected speakers will be contacted no later than April 25, 2009.
