EREPJ Call for Papers

Marty Malin writes about a special call for papers in the Employee Rights & Employment Policy Journal:

Employee Rights & Employment Policy Journal is planning a special issue honoring Clyde Summers, the Jefferson Fordham Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania.  Clyde was a founding member of the Journal’s editorial board and served actively on the Board until he suffered a stroke.  The special issue is slated for volume 14, issue 1, the first issue of 2010.

Articles in the issue should focus on areas in which Clyde produced path-breaking scholarship.  These include: employment at will, international and comparative labor and employment law, the rights of public employees, and the rights of employees vis-à-vis their unions.  Scholars who have committed to write for the issue include Matthew Finkin (Illinois), Michael Goldberg (Widener) and Lea VanderVelde (Iowa).  

Employee Rights & Employment Policy Journal is a faculty-edited, peer-reviewed journal.  Our authors never deal with student editors.  Instead of wrestling with student editors who often do more harm than good, our authors receive comments from their peers who have expertise in the subject of the article, to use at their discretion.  Our authors generally have praised our editorial process as a breath of fresh air after dealing with the typical student-run law review.

If you are interested in contributing to this special issue, please contact Journal co-editor Marty Malin at mmalin@kentlaw.edu.  Those who commit to writing for the issue will be asked to commit to submitting the final versions of their articles on or before December 1, 2009.

A well-deserved subject for a special issue.
