We are pleased to announce 2019 Thurgood Marshall Law Review and American Constitutional Society Symposium on “The Renewed Civil Rights Movement.”
Thurgood Marshall Law School was founded on the premises of separate but equal was inherently unequal. The law school history can be traced back to the civil rights efforts to integrate law schools in Sweatt v. Painter, 339 U.S. 629 (1950), which sought equal protection for racial minorities under the U.S. Constitution. Since the same urge of the 1940s to achieve equality and social justice continues to this very day, the Thurgood Marshall Law Review invites and welcomes scholarship in the form of legal manuscripts addressing issues of equality and social justice including:
• Police brutality and Mass Incarceration
• Voter rights;
• Gerrymandering;
• Racial profiling and related Civil Liberties
• Immigration or human rights
• First Amendment freedom of speech, press and religion
• Equality and Equity in Education
• Gender equality
• A Social Justice and Equality Issue Not listed
Thurgood Marshall Law Review requests that contributions submit original pieces between 10,000 and 20,000 words. If you would like to apply to participate in the 2019 Symposium, please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words by October 19, 2018 to tmlawreview@gmail.com, with “Attn: Lead Article Editor – Manuscript Submission” in the subject line. The deadline for the completed paper will likely be in December of 2018. Selected papers will be published in a limited-edition issue of the Thurgood Marshal Law Review in 2019, and selected authors will be invited to present their paper at the 2019 Thurgood Marshall Law Review Symposium on Friday, February 8, 2019.
