I am happy to pass along a CfP from Tracy Thomas, Seiberling Chair of Constitutional Law, for the Center for Constitutional Law at the University of Akron School of Law for participation in a written symposium for the Center's journal, ConLawNOW. .
Information follows below.
SCOTUS Blockbuster Cases 2025
Written Symposium
The Center for Constitutional Law at Akron
The Center for Constitutional Law at Akron Law seeks submission of essays to publish as part of a written symposium in its journal ConLawNOW. The summer symposium collectively examines the 2025 Supreme Court Blockbuster Cases for a wide view of the most recent decisions of the Court. The symposium consists of a collection of written articles, and does not include presentations. As always, the end of the Supreme Court term promises big reveals, important takeaways, and much content for consideration. This written symposium seeks to bring together scholars commenting on the new cases-evaluating opinions, discerning trends, and offering critiques and insights on the developing law-that can influence the interpretation and application of these new decisions. Topics discussed in the essays should be related to any case from the current U.S. Supreme Court Term (October 2024 to July 2025).
ConLawNOW is a faculty edited, open-access, online journal of the Center for Constitutional Law at Akron. The Center is one of four national centers established by Congress on the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution to support legal research and public education on constitutional issues. Faculty editors at ConLawNOW select the articles and copyedit the final manuscript, providing a level of professional expertise and peer review for law journal publication.
All papers for the SCOTUS 2025 Symposium should be submitted no later than August 25, 2025. Papers may be submitted earlier, as articles will be published on a rolling basis. Essays for the symposium should be 3,000 to 5,000 words. Papers should be polished papers finalized with all copyediting and cite checking completed. Submit essays to the editors of ConLawNOW at conlawjournal@uakron.edu. Selection will then be determined by the faculty editorial board with a view to publishing a wide range and volume of papers. Authors may expect that their essays will publish within four weeks of acceptance, as ConLawNOW generally publishes on an expedited schedule to facilitate dissemination of scholarly ideas. Questions about the symposium may be directed to Professor Tracy Thomas, Managing Editor, ConLawNOW, at thomast@uakron.edu.
