CFP: National Security Law Conference – Charlottesville, VA

The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School in Charlottesville, Virginia, will host the National Security Law Conference May 15-16, 2014.

This year’s event will have a slightly different format than in years past. Specifically, we are placing a greater emphasis on roundtable discussions.  Towards this end, we hereby solicit proposals to lead a roundtable discussion of a particular topic.  Proposals should include a brief (no more than one page) discussion explaining the topic and its significance. And while we anticipate that a number of the discussion sessions will focus on the law relating to armed conflict, we also encourage proposals on a broader array of national security topics.

If the proposal is selected the proponent will be expected to 1) Draft a 5-10 page ‘point paper’ framing the issue for discussion, to be distributed no later than the end of April; and 2) act as co-leader of the discussion during that session (we will select an additional participant to assist in this capacity).

Deadline: Please submit your proposals or attendance requests to both: Bobby Chesney (rchesney[@]law.utexas.edu), and Geoff Corn (gcorn[@]stcl.eduby close of business on March 15, 2014.
