The Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics and Public Policy invites academics, practitioners and policymakers to submit an article, essay, or speech for possible publication in our Spring 2010 symposium issue. Our Journal’s unique approach focuses each issue on one pertinent legal or policy topic and explores the ethical issues related to that topic. In Spring 2010, the Journal will address “Urban Development in the Twenty-First Century.” The deadline for drafts is January 15, 2010.
The mission of the Journal is to explore the legal, ethical, and policy considerations of each topic within the framework of the Judeo-Christian intellectual and moral tradition. We seek to publish authors who address that tradition while forming a compelling analysis of issues relevant to the current legal landscape. Past contributors include presidents, Supreme Court justices, congressmen, religious leaders, professors and other prominent figures from within their respective fields.
Interested authors may submit an optional abstract for review and feedback before the submission deadline. Submissions should include a cover letter, resume, and a copy of the manuscript. Please direct inquiries and submissions to Kathleen Donovan, Solicitation Editor, at kdonova5 [at] nd.edu, or submit by ExpressO to the Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics and Public Policy. mw
