Call for Papers: Albany Law Review’s 2018-19 issue of State Constitutional Commentary, “State Courts in the Trump Era: Judicial Independence, Federalism, and the Rule of Law.”
The Editorial Board of Albany Law Review invites submissions for publication in the 24th annual special issue of State Constitutional Commentary which this year will focus on the relationship between judicial independence, federalism, and the rule of law in state courts. We welcome theoretical, empirical and policy-oriented papers. We invite legal academics and practitioners, as well as law-related scholars, to submit their abstracts on topics exploring the ways in which state courts have or should exercise independence from the direction of federal law—or not.
Topics: Papers can approach issues relating to independent judicial federalism from a national or state perspective. Both legal, law-related, and multidisciplinary approaches are welcome. As has been true for State Constitutional Commentary since its inaugural issue 24 years ago, the purpose has been to explore public law in state courts in the broadest sense with the widest range of perspectives. Hence, within the general concept of “State Courts in the Trump Era,” a vast scope of topics is welcome. Selected papers will be published in The Albany Law Review’s 24th annual issue of State Constitutional Commentary. Proposals should briefly describe the specific topic, perspective, and relevance to the general concept of “State Courts in the Trump Era,” as well as identifying the author(s).
Submission deadline: A one-page (maximum) abstract is due by December 15, 2018. Authors will receive an email response no later than December 22, 2018. Inquiries and submissions should be sent to Mary Ann Krisa, [email protected], Executive Editor for State Constitutional Commentary, and to Vincent M. Bonventre, vbonv@ albanylaw.edu, Faculty Advisor. The due date for final submissions is February 15, 2019. Final papers must be at least fifteen pages in length.
