For those who do public-interest transactional work in the academy

TO: Faculty Members interested in Transactional Law

FROM: Planning Committee on 2009 AALS Conference on Transaction Law

Lisa Fairfax, University of Maryland, Chair
Victor Fleischer, University of Illinois
Peter Pitegoff, University of Maine
D. Gordon Smith, Brigham Young University
Alfred Chueh-Chin Yen, Boston College

We are planning the AALS 2009 Mid-year Program on Transactional Law, which will be held on June 10-12, 2009 in Long Beach,California.  "Transactional law" refers to the substantive legal rules that influence or constrain planning, negotiating, and document drafting in connection with business transactions, as well as the "law of the deal" (i.e., the negotiated contracts) produced by the parties to those transactions.  We are seeking proposals from (1) faculty members interested in presenting on innovative methods of teaching transactional law, and (2) faculty members interested in presenting new scholarship that relates to transactional law.

About the Program: In 1994, the AALS held a Workshop on Transactional Approaches to Law which inspired significant innovation and experimentation in transactional teaching and scholarship.  This Program provides a unique opportunity to take stock of developments in this area since that influential workshop.  One important goal of the Program is to bring together faculty from different doctrinal areas of law to exchange ideas and information on teaching and scholarly innovations in the area of transactional law. Toward this end, we encourage proposals from faculty members with an interest in transactional law in any discipline including such specialties as bankruptcy, business associations, clinical law, contracts, commercial law, intellectual property, international business, labor and employment law, real estate transactions, securities regulation, and taxation.

Please note that the AALS 2009 Mid-Year Meeting will include three programs: A Program on Business Associations: Taking Stock of the Field, followed by Concurrent Programs on Transactional Law and Work Law.   As a result, you may have received, or be receiving, Request for Proposals in connection with these other Programs. We would encourage you to submit proposals to any or all of the programs in which you have an interest in participating.  We also encourage submissions from junior faculty.

Request for Proposals on Transactional Law Scholarship: In keeping with the conference theme, the Program will host a series of concurrent works-in-progress sessions designed to give interested faculty members an opportunity to present new scholarship related to transactional law.  We are seeking works-in-progress proposals on transactional law scholarship broadly understood.  Thus, we are seeking proposals on scholarship that focuses on the legal, financial, and practical implications of business transactions in a variety of different settings.  In addition, we welcome proposals on the transactional side of the legal profession and the role of lawyers in consummating such transactions.  We do not mean to limit the range of proposals in this area, and would welcome proposals on transactional scholarship of all types.

Request for Proposals on Innovative Methods of Teaching Transactional Law:  We are planning a 75 minute plenary session on innovative methods of teaching transactional law, and are seeking proposals for faculty members interested in presenting in the session.  Many law professors teach transactional skills in a variety of contexts, from stand-alone "Deals" or Business Planning courses to in-class exercises as part of doctrinal classes.  A number of law schools have developed innovative courses or programs in transactional law.  We are interested in hearing discussion of the various  approaches with an eye towards discovering what works and what doesn't.  To anchor the discussion, participants may wish to explore how they use (or choose not to use) case studies as a method for teaching transactional law.  We welcome proposals from faculty members who wish to share their insights on using case studies and other innovative techniques and the manner in which those techniques enhance student development of transactional skills.  As with the request for works-in-progress, we do not mean to limit the range of proposals in this area.

Submission Guidelines: Interested faculty should submit a 300-500 word written proposal of the proposed work-in-progress or proposed presentation not later than July 15, 2008. Faculty may submit proposals for both the work-in-progress and the presentation.  In addition, as noted above, faculty who has submitted proposals in connection with the Business Association's Request for Proposals also may submit to the Program on Transactional Law.  Please submit the description by email to transactional@aals.org. The presentations will not be published.  Chosen presenters must register for the Workshop and will be responsible for their own travel and other expenses.  Any questions should be directed to Professor Lisa M. Fairfax, University of Maryland School of Law, lfairfax@law.umaryland.edu.

Northwestern Symposium "Ten Years After Welfare Reform: Making Work Pay" Apr. 4, 2008

Northwestern Journal of Law and Social Policy
        Second Annual Symposium       

Friday, April 4, 2008
        Northwestern University School of Law        
        375 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago IL      

      

Ten Years After Welfare Reform: Making Work Pay

      

We are excited to announce our Spring 2008 symposium, "Ten Years After Welfare Reform: Making Work Pay", which will take place Friday, April 4, at Northwestern University School of Law.

      

While much of welfare reform in the 1990s focused on moving people off of the welfare rolls and into work, many of those who have entered the work force are still struggling to survive. These individuals are often working multiple jobs, yet are still unable to support their families. The symposium explores the many components, beyond just finding a job, that are necessary in order for individuals to truly become self-sufficient.

      

One of the issues we will explore is the work supports needed by low-wage workers in order to rise out of poverty, including health insurance, child-care, and stable housing as well as how to improve awareness of and access to these critical programs.

      

We will also explore ways to enhance the income of low-wage workers through mechanisms like the Earned Income Tax Credit, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, living wage laws, and government funded savings programs. Additionally, our authors will suggest how low-wage workers can avoid high cost financial services and the “credit addiction.”

      

Finally, we will explore the history of the welfare reform movement, by examining its political and legal origins and by evaluating current and alternative methods of reform.

      

Thus, in order to encourage people to enter the work force and become independent, society must provide support in order to truly make work pay.

Conference: Debtor World, Univ. of Illinois, May 2-3, 2008

The University of Illinois College of Law, with the American Bankruptcy Institute, is hosting "A Debtor World: Interdisciplinary Academic Symposium on Debt," May 2-3, 2008.  From the conference website:

Perhaps the most common American experience today is debt. While debt can enable individuals and companies to do useful things they would otherwise be unable to do, excessive debt can cause serious financial problems for individuals, businesses and society at large. Debt is pervasive in the U.S. today. According to the latest figures from the Federal Reserve, there is almost $30,000 outstanding in consumer credit and home mortgages for every man, woman, and child in the United States. Even on an inflation-adjusted basis, that represents a thirteen-fold increase since 1946 when the figure was only $2,200. There are 900 million credit cards in circulation in the United States. Debt growth has not been restricted to consumers. Business debt is nine times as large as it was in 1946. Put simply, Americans have committed their future cash flows at an unprecedented rate.

Seeking others interested in AALS Open Source Idea

For law professors:

The AALS just sent out a request for Open Source proposals for the next annual meeting.  See Below.  I am writing to see if others are interested in joining me in putting together a proposal focusing on (tentatively): "legal implications of the new gilded age."  I am interested in working on such a proposal and if you are as well, please get in touch with me. 

-E.R. erosser@wcl.american.edu

Announcement below:

Association of American Law Schools

Request for Open Source Proposals   AALS is requesting proposals for Open Source programs for the 2009 AALS Annual Meeting in San Diego, California. Open Source sessions at the Annual Meeting are innovative programs proposed by groups of faculty members and selected by a committee in a competitive search. The goal is to encourage a "bottom up" process in which scholars collaborate to develop fresh and exciting ideas for a program at the Annual Meeting. It is not a Section, law school, organization or institution-sponsored program. It is a program developed by a group of faculty members in various subject matters, who have an innovative topic that they would like to present at the Annual Meeting.   When developing the proposal you should consider the following: · Is the format innovative? · Is there a diversity of presenters and multiplicity of planners? · Is there junior and senior teacher involvement?  · Does the topic cross over common issues and transcend a particular subject area? · Would there be a publication coming out of the submission? · Will the program format require expensive audio-visual equipment? Proposals should not feature a program or subject that could be offered by an AALS Section or conflict with other programs being presented at the 2009 AALS Annual Meeting. Submissions of novel ideas for programs should be e-mailed to: opensource@aals.org by April 10, 2008. Please include information identifying the planners of the program; the process of how the program idea was generated; the topic with a description and explanation of what the program is trying to accomplish; the list of proposed speakers; if there will be a publication of the program; and any other pertinent information that you believe would be helpful to the reviewing committee.

Is the “rights” revolution really over? Is it worth reviving? Do religious traditions offer theories of justice that can re-animate legal strategies for solving the problems of poverty and its devastating consequences? If there is a new “revolutionary” spirit embodied in community organizing strategies and campaigns, what does it offer advocates as a cohesive approach to social and economic justice? What do these three traditions have in common, and how might they coalesce into a revitalized American anti-poverty legal movement?
