Upcoming Symposia
The Northwestern University Law Review is soliciting proposals for a live symposium to be held at Northwestern University School of Law in winter/spring of 2008. The symposium will be published in the 103d volume of the Review (towards the end of 2008, or in early 2009). If your topic is chosen, you will work closely with our Symposium Editor on working out the logistical details of the symposium. We hope that you will consider this opportunity to organize a live symposium on your favorite topic.
If you would like to submit your topic for our consideration, please prepare a 5-6 page proposal, outlining the following information:

You should submit your proposal to Brian Lichter, the Review's Symposium Editor, at b-lichter2009@law.northwestern.edu. Feel free to contact Brian should you have any questions about the proposal. To allow for ample time to secure symposium participants, we plan to select the topic by June 15, 2008. We will start reviewing the proposals on May 10, 2008, so all proposals submitted before this date will receive consideration. Proposals received after May 10 will be considered only if the topic has not been chosen by that point.
We are looking forward to working with you on selecting the most engaging topic for our 2008 symposium.
Past Symposia
2007: Ordering State-Federal Relations Through Federal Preemption Doctrine
To be published in Volume 102 of the Law Review
This Symposium explores the current and future role of federal preemption of state laws and regulations in such areas as tort and tort reform, drug regulation, and environmental protection. The larger question addressed by a distinguished group of law faculty and lawyers from around the country is how should the federal courts balance federalism, state-sovereignty values with the constitutional principle of the supremacy of federal law. The conference was held on April 5, 2007, the papers will be published in the 102d volume of the Review.
