Call-for-Papers: Poverty Law V: Building Connections.  [PDF of call here: poverty-law-cfp-2024]
Indiana University Maurer School of Law; Bloomington, Indiana; September 12-13, 2024

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for “Poverty Law: Building Connections” to be hosted by Indiana University Maurer School of Law on September 12-13, 2024. This conference is meant to be a gathering, similar to previous poverty law conferences, for all those whose work focuses on poverty, disadvantaged populations,
and inequality. Many of the sessions will include paper presentations, but we will also
have roundtable discussions. Depending on interest, the conference may conclude either the evening of the 13th or the morning of the 14th. There are three main lines to the conference:

1. Building Connections Across Regions, Disciplines, and Domains
2. Teaching Poverty Law
3. Topics in Poverty (subject matter not limited in any way)

View the proposal submission form here.
The submission deadline is June 15, 2023. Please contact Andrew Hammond or Ezra Rosser with any questions at andhamm@iu.edu and erosser@wcl.american.edu. Please note there is a $100 conference registration fee and presenters are responsible for their own travel expenses. We look forward to seeing you in September!

NOTE: This is a rescheduled conference because we did not realize when we were working on the prior dates that the line of total eclipse passed right through the law school, which drove hotel rates sky high (so to speak). Another such eclipse is not supposed to happen during this rescheduled conference, so we hope you can join us!

Call-for-Papers: Journal of Political Economy

The Journal of Law and Political Economy invites submissions of up to 20,000 words from scholars in law, the social sciences, and the humanities whose research seeks to expose mechanisms of structural inequality and promote economic, political, and social justice.
 
Unlike most US law reviews, we have a “single submission” policy: we will not consider manuscripts that have been sent simultaneously to other journals. As a peer-reviewed journal, your article will be vetted by experts in the field who will provide you with detailed, substantive feedback.
 
We welcome your submissions through either Scholastica or eScholarship.

WHO WE ARE 

JLPE is an online, peer-reviewed journal hosted by the University of California, Berkeley School of Law and published by the University of California’s eScholarship platform. A project of ClassCrits, Inc., we are affiliated with the pathbreaking Law and Political Economy movement, and our sister organizations include the LPE Project, the Association for the Promotion of Political Economy and Law (APPEAL), and the LPE Collaborative Research Network of the Law and Society Association. Our Editorial and Advisory Boards consist of distinguished, nationally and internationally known scholars drawn widely from law, the social sciences, and the humanities.
 
With the conviction that conventional Law and Economics is inadequate to the multiple and overlapping crises of our time, JLPE seeks to promote multi- and interdisciplinary analyses of the mutually constitutive interactions among law, society, institutions, and politics. Our central goal is to explore power in all its manifestations (race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, global inequality, etc.) and the relationship of law to power. Accordingly, JLPE aims to provide an academic and practical resource for, and to foster discussion among, international scholars, activists, and educators to build bridges among the diverse groups whose work engages and resists the legal foundations of structural subordination and inequality.

WHAT WE PUBLISH 

We publish articles (no more than 20,000 words inclusive of notes, tables, appendices, and references) on a range of topics relevant to law and political economy, including the corporation, finance, antitrust, banking, money, and globalization; the political economy of race (including racial capitalism), gender, settler colonialism, and caste relations; property (including intellectual property); technology and the information economy; labor markets; the relationship between democracy and capitalism; the carceral state; economic inequality and precarity; the “triple crisis” of environment, economics, and development; international trade relations; and more. We also publish short book reviews of recent books (approximately 1,000 words in length), and longer reviews (up to 2,500 words) that reflect on several recent books, or reappraise classic scholarly writings from an LPE perspective.

WHY PEER REVIEW? 

As a peer-reviewed journal, your article will be vetted by experts in the field who will provide you with detailed, substantive feedback. Because of this labor-intensive process, we have a “single submission” policy: we will not consider manuscripts that have been sent simultaneously to other journals. 
 
Our “double-blind” policy means that you are anonymous to our reviewers, and they are anonymous to you. Our editorial team will help guide you through the peer review process, providing independent commentary and, once your article is accepted for publication, substantive and copy editing. This process will ensure that your manuscript meets the highest possible standard.

HOW TO SUBMIT  We are pleased to announce that we are now on Scholastica! You may also submit through eScholarship. To propose a book review, or for other queries, please contact our Managing Editor, Chloe Reichel, at jlpemanagingeditor@gmail.com.

Our style sheet is based on the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (including its author-date system for in-text citations) and the ALWD system for primary legal sources. However, we welcome manuscripts produced in Bluebook and other formats, as long as authors are willing to adopt our style sheet after manuscript acceptance.

We invite panel and roundtable discussion proposals, paper presentations, works-in-progress from junior scholars, poetry and fiction reading, and art that speak to this year’s theme, as well as to general ClassCrits themes that center the experience of marginalized people and foster solidarity among people to fight for justice and equity.

Please submit your proposal using the submission form here by October 15, 2023 (EXTENDED deadline).
