The Chapman University School of Law: Chapman Law Review will be hosting a symposium Jan. 26-27, 2012 entitled “The 40th Anniversary of Watergate: A Commemoration of the Rule of Law.” Abstracts and proposals for panel presentations on issues related to this topic, as well as author’s resume, should be submitted to: Whitney Stefko, Senior Symposium Editor, Chapman Law Review, stefk100[at]mail.chapman.edu. The call for papers deadline is Dec. 15, 2011.
This Symposium affords an excellent opportunity to remember the events of Watergate and the aftermath of those events. Alongside a discussion of the legacy of Watergate institutional and legislative reform, the symposium also provides a platform to discuss the notions of justice, procedural consequences of prosecuting government officials, the freedom of press and legal ethics.

Brooklyn Law School Center for the Study of Law, Language and Cognition and the Brooklyn Law Review present Statutory Interpretation: How Much Work Does Language Do? Nov. 19, 2010.
With 2010 marking Justice Scalia’s 25th year on the Supreme Court, his approach to statutory interpretation has had great influence on both the courts and the academic community. Yet vigorous disagreement continues in both realms. In a series of roundtables, leading scholars will discuss and debate their views on such issues as whether uncertainty in statutory language is a necessity, whether legislatures can solve some of their own problems by legislating in a manner designed to help statutory interpreters in advance, and which institutions can best construe statutes in different contexts.
Brooklyn Law School Professors Lawrence M. Solan and Rebecca Kysar organized this symposium.

Emerging from the Financial Crisis with the Help of Increased Consumer Protection and Corporate Responsibility.

The first afternoon panel will focus on issues affecting the mortgage industry; the second afternoon panel will focus on issues affecting other forms of consumer credit such as credit cards and student loans.Questions and comments can be directed to Isabelle Corbett, Senior Symposium Editor, and Christine Peterson, Associate Symposium Editor, at lawrev-symposium-editor [at] wcl.american.edu
