The William S. Richardson School of Law (University of Hawai’i) will host the 2010 SALT Teaching Conference–Teaching in a Transformative Era: The Law School of the Future. It will take place Dec. 10-11, 2010. The call for papers and panels deadline is Jan. 15, 2010.
In the midst of the nation’s worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, law schools must stay relevant and incorporate a curriculum that keeps pace with recent macroeconomic and social changes. Law professors must address a new phase of corporate and collective responsibility as well as the increasing need for social and economic justice in struggling communities nationwide and across the globe.Law schools must improve the admission and graduation of lawyers from a broad range of racial and ethnic backgrounds who will be prepared to serve their communities in the wake of the current global economic crisis. They must also address rising student indebtedness without sacrificing quality.
Since the conference coincides with the American Bar Association’s review of law school accreditation standards, it provides an opportunity to examine structural issues such as erosion of tenure, evolution in status relationships among law faculty, and the broader tensions between accreditation standards and economic and social trends in America.

The Northeast People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference (NEPOC) 2009 will take place October 23-25 at the University at Buffalo Law School in Buffalo, New York.
During last year’s NEPOC, we experienced the monumental collapse of Lehman Brothers and subsequently, our financial and real estate sectors. Our nation and economy have been suffering since that time and there have been many interesting changes. This year our theme is “America’s New Class Warfare?”
For more details on the theme, please see the conference webpage.
Instead of relying solely on invitations, this year’s NEPOC will also do a call for papers for the plenary panels. In addition, we are seeking works in progress, leaders for professional development workshops and nominees for the Haywood Burns – Shanara Gilbert Awards. The deadline for the submission of all these materials is June 30th.

The University of Chicago Legal Forum is now accepting abstracts and drafts for our 2010 Volume and symposium, Crime, Criminal Law, and the Recession. Authors selected for publication must present their article at the University of Chicago Legal Forum Symposium on October 23-24, 2009, at the law school and submit a publication draft by early January 2010.
The symposium will provide one of the first opportunities to explore an overlooked aspect of the current recession — changes in crime and criminal law. It will bring together scholars and practitioners from a range of disciplines — law, economics, sociology, political science, and public policy. Topics may include the impact of inequality or unemployment on crime rates, social trends in crime during recessions, the impact of crime on economic growth, changes in state drug laws, and reevaluations of the cost of punishment.
Interested authors should submit a CV and abstracts or drafts via email at UChicago.LegalForum [at] gmail.com. The submission deadline is August 1, 2009.

The Michigan State University College of Law is pleased to announce that the Second Annual Junior Faculty Federal Courts Workshop will take place on its campus October 22–23, 2009. The inaugural workshop, held in April 2008 at the American University Washington College of Law, was a resounding success attended by junior scholars from 30 law schools, resulting in publications in numerous preeminent journals. We aim to continue this tradition.
The workshop pairs junior and senior, federal-courts scholars in a day-long, works-in-progress workshop. Senior scholars who have confirmed their attendance for this year’s workshop are Susan Bandes (DePaul University School of Law), Martha Field (Harvard Law School), Martin Redish (Northwestern University School of Law), and David Shapiro (Harvard Law School).
Workshop Agenda
Drafts of papers will be distributed to participants prior to the workshop, which begins with dinner on Thursday, October 22. On Friday, October 23, following breakfast, two panels of junior scholars, composed of three to four persons each, will present papers in the morning. After lunch, two panels of junior scholars will present papers in the afternoon. Each panel will be assigned a senior scholar who will provide commentary on the paper and lead the group discussion.
Invitees
The workshop is open to non-tenured, or newly tenured, academics who teach Federal Courts (or an equivalent course) or whose scholarly agenda encompasses topics ordinarily associated with such a course. Those who do not currently hold a faculty appointment but expect that they will during the 2010-2011 academic year are also welcome. There is no registration fee for this conference.
RSVP
Those who plan to attend the workshop are asked to RSVP by July 31, 2009 to Sally Rice at Michigan State University College of Law (events@law.msu.edu). Please indicate whether you will attend the dinner on October 22.
Persons wishing to present a paper are asked to e-mail an abstract by June 29, 2009 to Lou Mulligan (mulligan@law.msu.edu). A committee of past participants will select papers no later than July 3, 2009.
Michigan State College of Law is pleased to provide all participants with meals while attending the workshop and has secured a block of rooms at a discounted rate.
