Law Review Symposia Clearinghouse
posted by Frank Pasquale
My last post led me to want to find out about other symposia that happened this year. Law review editors (and others), please feel free to mention your symposia in the comments to this post…it would be nice to have a clearinghouse for all the symposia that were held this year. (And if one already exists out there, please point me to it!).

CALL FOR PAPERS
SETTING THE AGENDA: EXAMINING THE CRITICAL LEGAL ISSUES FACING AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND MINORITY COMMUNITIES IN THE 2008 ELECTION
As the 2008 election draws near, what are the critical legal issues facing minority communities across the United States? How will the lives
and needs of these communities influence and be influenced by electoral politics, the 2008 presidential election, and the next administration?
What are the key problems and how can we effectively address them as we move towards the next phase in the nation’s political life?
On November 9, 2007, the Berkeley Journal of African-American Law and Policy (BJALP) will host a symposium focusing on critical legal issues
facing minority communities in light of the upcoming 2008 election. Those wishing to participate in the symposium are invited to submit
proposals for papers exploring a critical legal issue facing African-Americans and minority communities in the upcoming election. We are interested in papers in a diverse array of fields including, but not limited to, voting rights, health care, fair housing, environmental justice, family law, education, and the criminal justice system. Similarly, we are interested in fielding multiple perspectives on these issues and would welcome proposals from academics, policymakers,
practitioners, activists, and community members.
Papers selected for the symposium will be published in the Spring 2008 edition of the Berkeley Journal of African- American Law and Policy.
The symposium will be held at the University of California, Berkeley, Boalt Hall School of Law on November 9, 2007. BJALP will cover the reasonable travel expenses of those selected to participate in the symposium. Proposals should include the title of the proposed paper, an abstract of approximately 250 – 500 words, and the author’s curriculum vitae. Please also include your full institutional affiliation, e-mail address, and phone number(s). Proposals should be submitted via ExpressO(www.law.bepress.com/expresso) or
via e-mail to bjalp@law.berkeley.edu by June 8, 2007.
Authors will be notified of the results of our selection process by June 20, 2007. As selected papers will be published in the Spring 2008
edition of the Berkeley Journal of African-American Law and Policy, we
will require authors to submit drafts of their completed papers for editing no later than November 2007.
Please contact us by e-mail at bjalp@law.berkeley.edu with any questions. We look forward to reading your proposals.
