Journal of Catholic Social Thought Symposium Issue on CST and the Law

I am happy to announce that the first annual symposium issue of the Journal of Catholic Social Thought on the topic of CST and the Law has just been published (Volume 1:2, Summer 2004). Naturally we're very proud of this publication here at Villanova. The issue includes articles by MOJ blogistas Steve Bainbridge, Kathy Brady, Vince Rougeau, Mark Sargent, Mike Scaperlanda, Amy Uelmen and Rob Vischer, as well as other luminaries. The articles focused on a variety of broad theoretical issues as well as specific applications of CST in constitutional law, torts, corporate law, immigration, labor law and other areas. For the table of contents, please check the Journal's web page at the Journal Of Catholic Social Thought site listed in our Links section to the lower left.
Our second CST & the Law symposium will be held here at Villanova on October 8 on the topic of "Principles and Practices of Subsidiarity." Panels will include discussions of the relevance of subsidiarity in the liberal state, the bureaucratic state, federalism, international law and corporate governance. Speakers will include MOJ blogistas Paolo Carozza and Rob Vischer as well as others from the US, UK and Italy. I will post an agenda and conference info once they are finalized.
I will conclude with a plug: ask your librarians to subscribe to the Journal! Please note - they can't subscribe to the law issue only - but the other issues will include articles by law profs, because the journal is genuinely interdisciplinary, so they should feel comfortable having it in the library.
