Call for Papers--AALS Education Law Section

The Education Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools has distributed the following Call for Papers for the upcoming Annual Meeting in San Fransisco.  Note that selection comes with publication in the Michigan State Law Review.  Here's the Call:

Call for Papers Announcement

The AALS Education Law Section will hold a program during the AALS 2011 Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California on Immigration and Higher Education.  The panel description is as follows:

Many students attend U.S. colleges and universities who are not U.S. citizens, and many of those students become faculty in the U.S.—especially in the STEM disciplines. The citizenship of these individuals gives rise to numerous legal issues. This panel will address several of these issues both in the U.S. and abroad, including: whether undocumented students in the U.S. should pay in-state or out-of-state tuition as disputed in current litigation in California and Kansas; how universites in the EU operate in terms of out-of-country tuition; and also the licensing of professionals across national borders.

The section invites interested scholars to submit proposals for papers to be included in a symposium to be published in the Michigan State Law Review during spring/summer 2011. One or more papers also may be selected for presentation during the program at the Annual Meeting.

Submissions should be sent via e-mail to Professor Emily Gold Waldman at ewaldman@law.pace.edu by October 15, 2010. Members of the Section's executive committee will review the submissions and applicants will be notified of the committee's decision by November 15, 2010.

Eligibility:

Faculty members of AALS member and fee-paid law schools are eligible to submit papers. Foreign, visiting and adjunct faculty members, graduate students, and fellows are not eligible to submit.

Registration Fee and Expenses:

Call for Paper participants will be responsible for paying their annual meeting registration fee and travel expenses.
