First published in 1985, the University of Chicago Legal Forum is the Law School’s second-oldest journal. The Legal Forum is a student-edited journal that focuses on a single cutting-edge legal issue every year, presenting an authoritative and timely approach to a particular topic. Each fall, the Legal Forum hosts a two-day symposium, with the participants then contributing articles for the volume. The October 2009 Symposium will focus on “Crime, Criminal Law, and the Recession,” to be subsequently published as Volume 2010.
Topics in recent years have included “Life and the Law,” “Punishment and Crime,” “Cutting-Edge Issues in Class Action Litigation,” “The Scope of Equal
Protection,” “Frontiers of Jurisdiction,” “Antitrust in the Information Age,” “A Free and Responsible Press,” “Voting Rights and Elections,” and “The Law of
Cyberspace.” Volume 2007 will examine “Immigration Law and Policy.”
Since our founding, several eminent members of academia, the judiciary, and the bar have participated in the Legal Forum symposia. Prior participants and published authors include, among others, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Judge Richard Posner, Judge Frank Easterbrook, Judge Diane Wood, Judge Abner Mikva, Judge Patricia Wald, Judge Danny Boggs, Dean Lee Bollinger, Professor Randall Kennedy, Professor Cass Sunstein, Professor Lani Guinier, Professor Richard Epstein, and Professor Akhil Reed Amar. |
