Call for Papers and Witness
The University of Toledo College of Law is pleased to announce a universal and interdisciplinary conference on Saturday, October 25, 2008 in Toledo, Ohio on the subject of: 1808: Fighting for the Right to Dream
Scholars are invited to come to Toledo and bear witness and discuss 1808.
1808 was the year of the abolition of the importing of slaves into the United States. In this bicentennial year, how should we think about 1808? What does 1808 say to us? What will be said about 1808 in 2108?
The papers and witness being invited in this call for papers are about the meanings of 1808. Those meanings might be found in the life of a slave in the United States at that time such as Barbary. Born in 1787 in Africa and sold into slavery in 1800 in North Carolina to the Harrison family (of Founders and Presidents fame), Barbary was enslaved, black and twenty-one in 1808. How do we keep slave stories such as her story alive?
Those meanings might be found in 1847 in the founding of Liberia and Liberia’s history. Or in the Civil War. Or in Reconstruction. Or in Jim Crow. Or in 1908, year of birth of the late Justice Thurgood
Marshall whose life was dedicated to fighting for the right to dream.
Or in a picture in a courtroom in Norman, Oklahoma in 1948 of Ada Sipuel dreaming of being a lawyer. Or in the mass movements of the civil rights and human rights movements. Or in 1968 with the assassination of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and other momentous events. Or in a more recent rededication of efforts to achieve, protect and preserve civil and human rights for all.
Those meanings might be found in Africa and the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Australia and the Pacific.
What does 1808 mean to the world?
This call for papers is interdisciplinary and universal. Scholars from around the world interested in presenting are invited to submit one to two page abstracts for papers on the conference theme on or before August 15, 2008 to ben.davis@utoledo.edu.
Scholars from around the world who may have difficulty getting visas to the United States or attending should advise of their interest on or before August 15, 2008 to ben.davis@utoledo.edu. Overseas scholars and those unable to attend may provide a video witness of up to 10 minutes in length.
Toledo is located in Northwestern Ohio about 50 minutes by car south of Detroit, Michigan. Participants may find the easiest connections through Detroit though planes do fly also into Toledo airport. October 25, 2008 will be a particularly interesting time to visit as Toledo is the center of the universe during most recent U.S. Presidential elections because of the crucial role that Ohio plays as a swing state.

Robert Johnson and Copyright
Olufunmilayo Arewa, Northwestern University Law School, has published "Borrowing the Blues: Context and the Copyright of Robert Johnson," as Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 08-19. Here is the abstract.
Download the paper from SSRN here.
In 2004, Eric Clapton released the DVD-CD Sessions for Robert J and the CD Me and Mr. Johnson, which paid homage to Robert Johnson, one of Clapton's greatest musical influences. Clapton is not alone in his reverence of Robert Johnson. The ascension of Robert Johnson to the status of preeminent representative of early recorded blues traditions reflects broader trends in the creation and reception of blues music in the twentieth century. Johnson's position decades after his death is a startling contrast to the circumstances of his short life and the contexts within with he lived and performed.
Robert Johnson was a poor African American itinerant blues musician who died in obscurity under mysterious circumstances in 1938 at a country crossroads near Greenwood, Mississippi. Johnson was one of a number of musicians who made their way through the Mississippi Delta during the time period of his life and death. The legend of Robert Johnson, however, surpasses that of his musical contemporaries: Robert Johnson is the most well known bluesman of his era today. From his humble beginning and obscure death, Robert Johnson later emerged to become one of the biggest influences on rock and roll music, particularly through musicians in Great Britain, many of whom like Eric Clapton, count Robert Johnson as one of their greatest influences. Robert Johnson was one of the first 12 members inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Robert Johnson is far more famous in death than he could ever have envisaged during his lifetime. The story of Robert Johnson is thus an important one for the history of music, particularly in relation to the development of blues music traditions and the rock and roll traditions that emerged from blues.
The story of Robert Johnson is also an important one for copyright. Treatment of many blues musicians of Robert Johnson's era represent an early example of continuing tensions in the application of copyright to a broad range of living musical traditions. Copyright treatment of blues musicians also reflects the difficulties inherent in the application of copyright as a property rule to musical forms, including blues, which are characterized by pervasive borrowing. The reality of musical borrowing is often insufficiently acknowledged in discussions of copyright and music. The intersection of copyright, Robert Johnson's music and blues more generally can reveal something of how copyright law treats creative processes that reflect significant amounts of borrowing. Further, the contexts of application of copyright law to blues, as well as more generally, reflect the continuing influence of hierarchies of culture and power that have long shaped copyright law and its application.

Call For Papers: Catholic Social Thought and the Law
CALL FOR PAPERS
SYMPOSIUM ON CATHOLIC SOCIAL THOUGHT AND THE LAW
CATHOLIC SOCIAL THOUGHT AND CITIZENSHIP
Villanova University School of Law
October 11, 2008
On the eve of the 2008 election, Villanova University
School of Law's sixth annual symposium on Catholic social
thought will take up the question of citizenship and
political participation. Every four years, the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops releases a document entitled
"Faithful Citizenship," and the media engage in speculation
about the "Catholic vote." The Bishops assert that
"responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in
public life is a moral obligation." After visiting America,
Alexis de Tocqueville worried that Christianity neglected
the duty of citizenship while also arguing that religion
was the first of America's political institutions.
But Catholic social thought arguably lacks a coherent
account of citizenship. As John Coleman, S.J., complained
in the pages of Commonweal over 20 years ago, "Christianity
has not adequately adumbrated or embodied the moral ideal
of the citizen in its social ethics or popular preaching."
Among the questions to be addressed by the symposium are
the responsibilities of citizenship in Catholic social
teaching, the relationship between faithful citizenship and
voting, the role of the American Catholic Church in public
life, the duties of public officials, and the historical
development of citizenship in Catholic social thought. The
Symposium will bring together legal scholars, political
scientists, theologians, and philosophers to explore the
implications of citizenship for Catholic legal theory.
PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Articles presented at the Conference will be considered for
publication in the Journal of Catholic Social Thought, a
peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal published by
Villanova University. Please submit paper proposals by
July 1, 2008, or requests for more information to:
CONTACT: Dean Mark A. Sargent

Call For Papers: Feminist Legal History
From Professor Tracy Thomas, University of Akron
The editors of a proposed book, Feminist Legal History: New Perspectives on Law seek submissions for contributing chapters to the book. This book is an edited collection of essays by leading scholars in law and history that offers new historical and feminist perspectives on law and applies these insights to the legal and social policy issues of today. The collection takes as its primary goal an exploration of women’s historical use of the law to advocate and achieve equality. Contributing authors employ this core theme in a variety of historical contexts to reframe and illuminate such topics as women’s rights in the area of family law, women’s participation in the U.S. military, women’s legal activism and participation in social justice movements, judicial roles played by women, and women’s status in constitutional law. Feminist Legal History was inspired by a symposium held in October 2007 sponsored by the Center for Constitutional Law at The University of Akron School of Law, one of four such national centers established by Congress.

A Taste For the Law
Chris Colin, who writes for the San Francisco Chronicle, sent me a link to his piece on his friend Jose Klein, a newly minted Harvard Law grad, who is also an artist: he captures the essence of famous cases and legal issues on dinner plates. Read up on Mr. Klein's unique way of interpreting the law here. Early holiday shopper? Check out his website, where his plates are for sale. I think I may stop by.
For more about the intersection of law and art, see this post about Lego artist Nathan Sawaya from my Law and Magic Blog. And check out some of the work of Tulane Law grad and artist Alan Gerson here. I have some of his pieces and they never fail to make me smile.

Ripped From the Headlines

Another Interpretation of Captain Vere
Rob Atkinson, Jr., Florida State University College of Law, has published "Averting the Captain Vere 'Veer': Billy Budd as Melville's Republican Response to Plato" as FSU College of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 311. Here is the abstract.
Download the paper from SSRN here.
This article shows how Melville's Billy Budd, rightly one of law and literature's most widely studied canonical texts, answers Plato's challenge in Book X of the Republic: Show how poets create better citizens, especially better rulers, or banish them from the commonwealth of reasoned law. Captain Vere is a flawed but instructive version of the Republic's philosopher-king, even as his story is precisely the sort of poetry that Plato should willing allow, by his own republican principles, into the ideal polity. Not surprisingly, the novella shows how law's agents must be wise, even as their law must be philosophical, if they are to do justice. Paradoxically, the novella also shows how poetry can save law's agents, particularly the more Platonic, from Captain Vere's veer, a dangerous turn from fully legal justice to false and fatal severity.
Captain Vere has a tragic flaw all too common among leaders otherwise completely conscientious and competent: When faced with a range of courses - all legal, moral, and practicable - Vere invariably charts the most personally painful. Part of his no pain, no gain course steers him into fastidious studies that exclude both mere fiction and pure theory, ironically banishing Plato himself along with his poets. But Vere's own story, with its narrator's frequent theoretical interruptions and occasional allusions to Plato, demonstrates that the reading of just such stories may deliver leaders like him from over-harsh treatment of themselves and their most vulnerable charges. The novella, then, not only reveals Captain Vere's veer; it also shows a way to avert that ever dangerous, often fatal tack. If the studious captain had been prepared to study stories like his own, his readings might have made him a vastly better guardian of his symbolic flock, particularly of Billy Budd, his most innocent sheep; had Starry Vere been more a philosopher-king and less a surrogate father-god, he need never have made his excruciating mistake, sacrificing his most beloved foster son to save their microcosmic world.

A Jury of Her Peers, Domestic Abuse and Animal Abuse
Caroline Anne Forell, University of Oregon School of Law, has published "Using a Jury of Her Peers to Teach About the Connection Between Domestic Abuse and Animal Abuse," in volume 15 of Animal Law Review (2008). Here is the abstract.
Download the article from SSRN here.
In this essay I examine Susan Glaspell's short story A Jury of Her Peers in the context of teaching about the connection between domestic violence and animal abuse in an Animal Law course. I discuss how Glaspell's story, in which the motive for a woman killing her husband is his killing of her pet bird, enables students to better understand the perspective of battered women who behave in certain ways because they have pets. I pose several questions concerning how the law would and should respond when a battered woman reacts with violence to the killing or serious injury of her pet. I also review the legal options that may be available today to battered women who have companion animals in contrast to the past.
