Edgardo Rotman's paper "La crise de la politi que criminelle humaniste a l'aube du vingt-et unieme siecle," (The Crisis of Humanistic Criminal Policy at the Dawn of the 21st Century) delivered at the University of Liege, will be published in a book titled The Influence of Scientific NGOs on National and International Crime Policy, by Wolf Legal Publishers in the Netherlands.
Professor Bruce Winick reports that the Journal of Legal Education has accepted for future publication a mini-symposium that he organized under the title "What Balance in Legal Education Means to Me." Professor Winick will contribute the foreword. He also completed work on an invited foreword to a Nova Law Review symposium on victims rights -- this foreword will be titled "Therapeutic Jurisprudence Perspectives on Dealing with Victims of Crime." In the spring of 2010, the Florida Coastal Law Review will publish Professor Winick's article (also the work of two co-authors) titled "Aging, Driving and Public Health: A Therepeutic Jurisprudence Approach."
Professor Patrick Gudridge concluded substantive revisions of "Emergency, Legality, Sovereignty: Birmingham, 1963," to be included as chapter two of Sovereignty, Legality, Emergency, edited by Austin Sarat, to be published by Cambridge University Press in 2010. It is widely recognized that times of national emergency put legality to its greatest test. In such times we rely on sovereign power to rescue us, to hold the danger at bay. Yet that power can and often does threaten the values of legality itself. Sovereignty, Emergency, Legality examines law’s complex relationship to sovereign power and emergency conditions. It puts today’s responses to emergency in historical and institutional context, reminding readers of the continuities and discontinuities in the ways emergencies are framed and understood at different times and in different situations. And, in all this, it suggests the need to be less abstract in the way we discuss sovereignty, emergency, and legality. This book concentrates on officials and the choices they make in defining, anticipating, and responding to conditions of emergency as well as the impact of their choices on embodied subjects, whether citizen or stranger.
