Call for Papers: AALS Sections on Property and Natural Resources/Energy Law to Host Joint Program

I meant to post this when it came out late last month but exam grading swallowed me up for a while; many of you have probably already seen this announcement elsewhere.? Anyway, tomorrow (June 15) is the deadline to submit abstracts for what will surely be one of the highlights at next year's AALS. Via Shelley Saxer and Tim Mulvaney:

The AALS Section on Property is pleased to announce a Call for Papers for its joint program with the AALS Section on Natural Resources & Energy Law during the AALS 2013 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA.? This joint program, entitled ?40 Years of Environmental and Natural Resources Law: A Prospective Look,? will forecast how the law surrounding environmental and natural resources might change in the four decades to come.? It is scheduled for Monday, January 7, and accompanies a companion program jointly sponsored by the AALS Sections on North American Law and Environmental Law, which is entitled ?40 Years of Environmental and Natural Resources Law: A Retrospective Look.?? Therefore, this event in its entirety will include four interrelated one-and-one-half-hour sessions.

The specific session organized by the Section on Property is centered on ?A Prospective Look at Property Rights.? ?Broadly speaking, the panelists will examine the legal and political issues that local, national, and international communities confront in seeking to balance public and private interests in the face of significant modern environmental and natural resource challenges.? The Section on Property seeks one to two papers that will advance this session?s theme and complement the scholarly perspectives of the following speakers: Maxine Burkett (University of Hawaii School of Law), Steven Eagle (George Mason University School of Law), John Echeverria (Vermont Law School), and Carol Rose (invited) (University of Arizona College of Law).? The George Mason Law Review has agreed to publish papers emanating from this session?s presentations in the spring of 2013.

Full-time faculty members of AALS member and fee-paid law schools are invited to submit an abstract not exceeding one page by e-mail to Shelley Saxer (Pepperdine University School of Law), the Chair of the Section on Property Law, at Shelley.Saxer@pepperdine.edu by June 15, 2012.? Professor Saxer will select one or two of the submissions for inclusion in the program in consultation with the Section?s officers.? Submitting authors will be notified of the results of the selection process by July 1, 2012.? To assure timely publication, selected authors should plan to submit their papers of 7,000-8,000 words above the line to the George Mason Law Review by November 1, 2012.? The selected authors will be responsible for paying their annual meeting registration fee and travel expenses.? Questions should be directed to Professor Saxer at the above-noted email address.
