MSU International Law Review Call for Papers: Battle for the North — The Next Great Conflict
Call for Papers: Seattle Journal of American Indian Law
A new on-line publication has been approved for provisional status at the Seattle University School of Law, called the Seattle Journal of American Indian Law (“Journal”). To earn full accreditation, an internal trial issue will be published and circulated within the Law School. The trial issue will show the faculty and administration the caliber of substance and high level of scholarship the Journal would provide.
The editorial Board of the Journal is currently seeking articles for the trial issue. Because it is still a trial issue, they will not seek rights to any submitted content. They are looking for shorter articles, and the due date for submitting confirmation of interest and an abstract is November 20, 2011.
If interested, or if you have any questions about the Journal, please contact Stacy DeMass at demasss@seattleu.edu.

Michigan State Law Review CFP
The Michigan State University Law Review is holding a symposium, “Gender and the Legal Profession’s Pipeline to Power,” April 12-13, 2012. The symposium will serve as a catalyst to raise awareness about, discuss the dynamics of, and strategize solutions to the persistent gender disparity that exists in positions of power in the legal profession. Scholars and experts from the fields of law, political science, journalism, and beyond will reframe and advance the course of existing dialogue on gender equality.
We are pleased to announce that the symposium will be taking place in Detroit, Michigan, at the historic Westin Book Cadillac Hotel. MSU College of Law has its roots in this city; as Detroit College of Law it was one of the first institutions of higher education to open its doors to women and minorities, admitting Lizzie McSweeney into its inaugural class of students in 1891. Thus it is incredibly fitting that this symposium takes place in the very city where our school was founded, remembering our legacy while also looking to the future.
Just as MSU College of Law was among the first to offer women equal access to a legal education over 50 years before many other institutions began to do so, we now seek to continue this tradition by advancing the conversation on how to resolve remaining gender disparity.
Confirmed participants to date include:
Hannah Brenner (Michigan State), Douglas Branson (Pittsburg), Keith Bybee (Syracuse University), Bridget Crawford (Pace), Christine Corcos (Louisiana State), Lee Epstein (Southern California), Erika Falk (Johns Hopkins), Judge Nancy Gertner (Harvard), Carol Greenhouse (Princeton), Linda Greenhouse (Yale), Joan Howarth (Michigan State), Sally Kenney (Tulane), Renee Newman Knake (Michigan State), Paula Monopoli (Maryland), Carla Pratt (Penn State), Deborah Rhode (Stanford), Lori Ringhand (Georgia), Julie Suk (Cardozo), and Angela Onwuachi Willig (Iowa).
This announcement invites proposals from individuals across disciplines who are interested in contributing to this conversation by speaking on a panel at the symposium. We especially encourage proposals from junior scholars and new voices focusing their work on the issues that will be explored through this event. Submissions must include a title and abstract of no more than 1,000 words, due by November 15, 2011. Please include your full contact information, including an email, phone number, and mailing address. Participants will be notified about their acceptance by December 2011. Some participants may have the opportunity to publish their paper as part of a special symposium issue of the MSU Law Review (please indicate if you are interested in having your paper considered for this purpose in your submission).
For questions or to submit a proposal, please contact:
Hannah Brenner, Lecturer in Law & Co-Director, Kelley Institute of Ethics and the Legal Profession at hbrenner@law.msu.edu or
Renee Newman Knake, Associate Professor of Law & Co-Director, Kelley Institute of Ethics and the Legal Profession at rk@law.msu.edu
If submitting a proposal, please include in the subject line MSU Call for Papers.

Gonzaga Law Review CFP: Modern Issues of Tribal Sovereignty and Jurisdiction
Call for Papers
GONZAGA LAW REVIEW
Volume 47:3
Modern Issues of Tribal Sovereignty and Jurisdiction
Gonzaga University has historically concerned itself with the advancement of Native rights. Father Joseph Cataldo, S.J., founded the university in 1887 as a missionary school with a primary purpose of offering education to northwestern tribal children. This commitment has grown over the years and is exemplified by the business school’s American Indian Entrepreneurship Program and the law school’s Indian Law Clinic.
Today, we further affirm this commitment and announce that Volume 47:3 of the Gonzaga Law Review will be devoted to Modern Issues of Tribal Sovereignty and Jurisdiction. Some of the topics that we hope to explore include, but are not limited to:
· Public Law 83-280 and the interplay between federal, state, and tribal jurisdiction
· Tribal court jurisdiction and non-Indian activities and lands
· Immigration and extradition between tribal and non-tribal lands
· The Washington State Indian Child Welfare Act and any effects it implicates on implementation of the Federal Indian Child Welfare Act
Submissions, paper proposals, and questions should be sent to Mark Melter at mmelter@lawschool.gonzaga.edu. Final drafts of accepted submissions are due on December 1, 2011. Volume 47:3 will be published in April 2012. The Gonzaga Law Review and the Indian Law Clinic are also considering a conference in Spring 2012 to coincide with the release of the issue. Please indicate in your submission whether you have interest in participating in a potential conference regarding modern issues of tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction. We look forward to your contributions.
