Happy to pass along this Call for Paper for the Memphis Law Review:

The Memphis Law Review is seeking article proposals, speakers, and panel participants for a symposium on issues related to the history and evolution of due process, including what the future holds for this cornerstone of the American legal system.

Due process remains a dynamic and often contested area of law. Recent Supreme Court decisions, including Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and Obergefell v. Hodges, have sparked vigorous debate regarding the scope and application of substantive due process. In addition, the return of the Trump administration has once again brought due process concerns to the forefront. The critical questions now involve both the scope and application of due process: who is entitled to it in America, and do various actions by the Trump administration threaten established procedural rights?

While concerns about deportation and detainment impacting immigrants on U.S. soil are top of mind, this symposium also seeks to examine the future of due process for American citizens. Articles addressing the long-term ramifications of this presidential administration's actions-for American citizens and noncitizens alike-will be given priority review for publishing. Please direct your proposals and questions to mdjrntte@memphis.edu.
