Call for Papers - Colloquium on Commercial Litigation in the Electronic Age

On December 1, 2008 the New York State Judicial Institute will sponsor a Colloquium on the Future of Commercial Litigation: Developing a Cost-Efficient Judicial Process for the Electronic Age.  Chief Justice Judith Kaye will open the event and will be followed by distinguished members of the judiciary, the bar and the educational academy.

The Journal of Court Innovation will be publishing a symposium edition in cooperation with this program and is soliciting articles to be included in this edition.  Articles can concern the federal or any state justice system and there is no page length requirement.

The Journal of Court Innovation is a peer reviewed journal published by the New York State Judicial Institute, the Center for Court Innovation and Pace Law School.   The journal's mission is to promote innovation among the 50 state court systems and seeks to "bridge the worlds of theory and practice."  It is targeted to court administrators, judges, lawyers, scholars, non-profit executives, legislative and executive branch officials and other professionals interested on improving court systems and the administration of justice. Additional information about the journal is available online.

If you are interested in submitting a paper for consideration please contact Prof. Leslie Yalof Garfield.  Final drafts should be submitted by December 30, 2008 for consideration in this edition.

The Journal also welcome articles on any topics that consider court innovation for publication in future editions.  -jl
