two conferences

I wanted to let readers know about two conferences. One occurred last Friday in Provo, Utah. That conference, which addressed "Interjurisdictional Recognition of Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships, and Benefits," was co-sponsored by BYU Law School and Ave Maria School of Law. The conference featured some of the leading conflicts scholars in the nation. For more information about the conference, including most of the papers, take a look at the conference website.

The other conference will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on November 19-20, 2004. This second conference, which is entitled "Rethinking Rights:Historical, Political, and Theological Perspectives," is being co-sponsored by Ave Maria School of Law and the Murphy Institute of the University of St. Thomas. The speakers at this conference include my colleague Bruce Frohnen, Charles Reid (St. Thomas), R.H. Helmholz (Chicago), George Carey (Georgetown), and Brian Tierney (Cornell). For more information, take a look at the conference website. 

The papers from both conferences will be published by the Ave Maria Law Review.
