American University Washington College of Law (WCL) will host the first annual Global Congress on Public Interest Intellectual Property Aug. 25-27, 2011. The Global Congress will be co-hosted by WCL’s Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property, Fundação Getulio Vargas’s Center for Technology and Society (Brazil), the American Assembly at Columbia University, the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (Geneva), and the Institute for Global and International Studies at George Washington University.
he Global Congress on Public Interest Intellectual Property is being created as an alternative forum to the annual industry-organized Global Congress Against Counterfeiting and Piracy, which was one of the main incubators for the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and other components of the ongoing enforcement agenda in international intellectual property law. The enforcement agenda has come under increasing scrutiny from public interest advocates and independent researchers, including through the recently released Media Piracy in Emerging Economies report. Taking these research and advocacy interventions as a starting point, the Global Congress on Public Interest Intellectual Property will serve as a site for the sharing of research, ideas and policy proposals for how international intellectual property law should be constructed to better protect the full range of global public interest concerns.
Paper and presentation proposals are due by April 15, 2011. Update (March 29): the form for submitting proposals will be up by April 15. This is not a submission deadline. mw

The Modern American, the award-winning legal publication dedicated to diversity and the law from American University Washington College of Law, is seeking submissions for its Spring 2010 issue. Although the target date of March 1, 2010, has passed, the editors will still accept papers.
The Modern American is a unique forum that addresses legal topics that affect marginalized communities, articulates under-represented experiences within the law, and offers a platform for critical studies work, particularly as these areas relate to race, nationality, gender, class, ability, and sexuality. Our publication explores the interesting intersections between the law and policy, as well as tensions between the legal and non-legal world. Our most recent fall issue published work on critical gender theory and US asylum law’s application to domestic violence survivors; racial politics submerging equal protection jurisprudence in a post-identity Court; and a historical myth-busting on orphan trains and the law.
With a broad audience from law practitioners to activists, we reach a wide intellectual community across the country and even overseas. We can be found on every major legal database, including Westlaw, LexisNexis and Vlex.com, and maintain a large subscriber database to individuals and institutions in the US.
We are looking for cutting-edge legal scholarship for our newest issue. Our publication prefers short essays (20 pages or fewer), legal commentary, and other non-traditional formats on timely topics. We are especially eager to publish legal commentary from published law faculty or essays from practitioners and emerging scholars whether new faculty or law students.
Please submit your piece for consideration to tma@wcl.american.edu with a cover letter and resume by Monday, March 1st. We accept papers on a rolling basis with a preference for earlier submissions.
