The Journal of Law and Health (Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, Cleveland State University) is extending its Call for Papers through the month of October. Our upcoming Symposium titled Issues of Reproductive Rights: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Policy will be held in March 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio. If you are writing on issues related to reproductive rights please consider submitting an abstract and CV for consideration. The abstract should be no longer than 600 words.
The selection of this Symposium topic was a result of major developments in the area of Reproductive Rights in the past year. For example, state legislation in Texas and several other states restricting access to abortion. Another example would be the recent 10th Circuit decision in Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius which provided for-profit corporations with a right to challenge the Affordable Care Acts so-called contraceptive mandate on the basis that a corporation is a person who can have and exercise its own religious beliefs. The Symposium aims to give judges, legislators, and academics the opportunity to present research that highlights the legal and ethical issues that may occur because of these developments.
If you are interested in submitting an abstract for consideration please find the instructions and important dates for submission below. If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to contact me at g.r.gantt@cmlaw.csuohio.edu.
