Birmingham City University’s Centre for American Legal Studies welcomes submissions for its series Controversies in American Constitutional Law. The next publication, Controversies in Criminal Evidence, “will comprise at least twelve chapters, and bring together leading experts on the theory, application and scholarly analysis of evidence law in America, from a variety of legal, scientific, policy and ethical perspectives. The contributors will investigate contemporary questions concerning the issues presented by criminal evidence. The chapters will be placed within a multi-disciplinary perspective to provide cogent observations and recommendations for the effective application and development of criminal evidence law.”
Chapters should be approximately 12,000 words, including footnotes. Footnotes should be Bluebook compliant, but chapters should otherwise be in line with the Ashgate house-style. The submission deadline for abstracts (Max. 400 words) is December, 12, 2014. After this, a proposal will be formed and forwarded to Ashgate for approval. The provisional deadline for first drafts is August 1, 2015.
