We have extended the deadline for the call for papers for the AALS Section on Financial Institutions and Consumer Financial Services. E-mail submissions to me at erik.gerding@colorado.edu or profgerding@gmail.com by September 20, 2011. The full text of the call for papers is below.

Financial Institutions and Consumer Financial Services Section

AALS Annual Meeting – January 2012

Rubber Hits Road: Implementing Dodd-Frank amid Reform Fatigue

This program will take place one and a half years after the Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law. The law left many of the details of financial reform to be filled in by regulators, raising the risk of capture. Some of the most important rule makings have begun in earnest; others have stalled as reform fatigue sets in. Meanwhile, reform efforts in Europe and international regulatory initiatives remain works-in-progress.

What lessons can we draw from the implementation of Dodd-Frank so far? What have been the greatest achievements and the greatest disappointments as the legislative process has given way to the administrative? What devils have lain hidden in the details of the Federal Register? What aspects of reform have been largely forgotten? What does the path of financial reform say about legislative and regulatory process? What lessons can be drawn from the reform efforts in Europe and elsewhere? Does the focus on regulating institutions detract from a focus on regulating financial instruments, markets or economic functions and risks?

More ominously, is the crisis truly over? Are we at grave risk of fighting the last war? Has reform missed the mark altogether? This meeting is part of a project to engage the legal academy in sustained theoretical and policy contributions to financial regulation. It also presents an opportunity to look at specific rulemakings in detail, as well as to address larger questions about the course of reform after laws are made.

Call for papers:

Law teachers and other scholars are invited to submit manuscripts or abstracts dealing with any aspect of the foregoing topics. Junior faculty members are particularly encouraged to submit manuscripts or abstracts. A review committee consisting of Section officers will select one or more papers or proposals and will invite the author(s) of each selected submission to present their work at the program session in Washington, D.C. in January 2012. Abstracts should be comprehensive enough to allow the review committee to meaningfully evaluate the aims and likely content of papers they propose. Please send manuscripts or abstracts to the Program Chair (Erik Gerding, University of Colorado) at erik.gerding@colorado.edu or profgerding@gmail.com no later than September 20, 2011. Please place the name and contact information of authors only on the cover page of submissions.

Please forward this Call for Papers to anyone who might be interested.

Please note: Faculty members of AALS member and fee-paid law schools are eligible for presentation at the Call for Papers panel portion of our section program. Foreign, visiting and adjunct faculty members, graduate students, and fellows are not eligible to participate in this panel presentation; however, any submissions from individuals in these categories may be considered for other parts of the Section program at the Annual Meeting.

Here is another call for papers sponsored by GW's Center for Law, Economics, and Finance. Submissions can be sent to me at lfairfax@law.gwu.edu. The full text is below.

The Chapman Law Review has issued a call for papers on the future of financial regulation. More information is below:

From Wall Street to Main Street: The Future of Financial Regulation

January 27-28, 2011

Chapman University School of Law:

Chapman Law Review Orange, CA

In light of the recent world-wide crisis in banking and finance, the deep recession and anemic recovery, and Congressional attempts to bring increased oversight and discipline to the financial industry via its 2,319 page Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Chapman Law Review is pleased to host a legal symposium on Thursday, January 27 and Friday, January 28, 2011, entitled “From Wall Street to Main Street: The Future of Financial Regulation.”

This symposium, which will be hosted in affiliation with Chapman University’s Center for Global Trade & Development, affords an excellent opportunity to explore whether the bill will impose prudential restrictions and restraint on financial institutions and prevent future financial melt-downs. Alongside a pragmatic look at this legislative reform, the symposium also provides a platform to discuss the underlying theoretical principles of economic regulation and the extent to which regulation helps or hinders financial discipline, wealth creation and a vibrant economy in which rich and poor alike may prosper.

The Chapman Law Review invites abstract submissions of 150 to 200 words from legal scholars and scholars in other disciplines interested in contributing to the current debate surrounding the international financial crisis and the federal reform. Papers may focus on the efficacy of financial regulation—either as related to the Dodd-Frank reform bill or in general; they may also focus on the underlying theoretical debate over economic theory and/or market principles.

Some particular issues contributors to the conference might address are:

What are the regulatory and governmental theories on which the new Bill is based?
What is the relationship between underlying economic principles, the financial melt-down, and the role of regulation?
Will the Bill prevent future financial melt-downs?
What are some of the unintended consequences of the Bill?
What should be the proper role of the Federal Reserve?
Do consumers need a new consumer watchdog group?
How will the Bill affect the regulation of derivatives?
Will the Bill hinder new market growth?
Should banks be allowed to invest in hedge funds or private equity funds?
What role should credit rating agencies play in the future of the investment world?
Should Congress address Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and if so, how?
Can securitization be saved?
What is the proper model for regulating Wall Street?
How will the Bill affect Main Street?

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Abstracts and proposals for panel presentations on issues related to this topic should be submitted to:

CONTACT: Jennifer Fry, Senior Symposium Editor, Chapman Law Review

Email: Fry108@mail.chapman.edu

DEADLINE: The submission deadline for abstracts is October 1, 2010. Final papers will be due on January 27, 2011; however, some extensions may be granted in some circumstances.

EXPENSES: Travel expenses, accommodation and a modest stipend will be provided to participants who publish in the Chapman Law Review.

Given the passage of Dodd-Frank, the AALS Section on Financial Institutions and Consumer Financial Protection has extended the deadline for its Call for Papers for the January 2011 AALS Annual Meeting to Monday, September 20. E-mail submissions to agelpern@wcl.american.edu. Submissions discussing the implications of the new law are welcome. The full text of the original call is here.

Reminder! The AALS Section on Financial Institutions and Consumer Financial Services has a call for papers for the AALS Annual Meeting in San Francisco in January. The deadline is August 1. E-mail submissions to agelpern@wcl.american.edu.

Here is the full text of the call for papers:

Beyond Financial Reform: Mapping Regulatory Objectives, Institutional Forms, and Accountability in the Post-Crisis Landscape

Program Summary: Three years into the deepest financial crisis in decades, debates rage on about the core objectives of regulating finance, the relative importance of competing objectives and the relative competences of competing local, national and global regulators. This program will assess the recent reform efforts in context, to shed light on the choices inherent in determining who gets to regulate whom, how, and for whose sake. What, if any, tradeoffs must be made between systemic stability and growth? … safety and soundness and consumer protection? … risk management and innovation? … home country, host country, and multilateral regulation? … regulatory effectiveness and accountability?

Leading policy makers, academics and market participants have staked out positions on the merits; yet others contend that reform has been mired in false choices. The program will address the competing claims; explore the relationships among regulation, finance, and its economic, political and social context; and try to shift the terms of theoretical and policy debates to chart the path ahead.

Of particular interest are papers that:

Engage with economic and political thought on urgent policy problems, such as macroprudential and countercyclical regulation;
Address the challenges of compliance, regulatory arbitrage, and regulatory capture;
Contribute to the debate about the institutional structure of regulation and the competing bases for allocation of regulatory authority; and
Explore insights for financial regulation from other law disciplines, including bankruptcy, international law, and administrative law, as well as institutional and behavioral fields outside the law.

Call for Papers: Law teachers and other scholars who have an interest in speaking at this program are invited to submit a manuscript or précis on any aspect of the foregoing topic. Junior faculty members are particularly encouraged to submit. A review committee consisting of Section officers will select one or more papers or proposals and will invite the author(s) of each selected submission to make a presentation at the program session. A précis should be comprehensive enough to allow the review committee to evaluate the likely content and quality of the proposed paper; however, complete drafts will receive preference in the selection process. Please send submissions to the Program Chair--Anna Gelpern, American University Washington College of Law, agelpern@wcl.american.edu --no later than August 1, 2010.

Glomming onto Jennifer's recent post on reforming the corporate law curriculum, I have been remiss in not sooner announcing Emory's new Center for Transactional Law and Practice. We've hired Tina Stark, a nationally and internationally recognized expert on transactional skills instruction, to head up the Center. The Center is hosting a conference next May on Teaching Drafting and Transactional Skills: The Basics and Beyond. We are currently actively soliciting proposals for the conference. The deadline for proposals is December 3, 2007.

UPDATE: The deadline has been extended to December 21.

I'm a little tardy in posting this, but Barbara Black, Director of the Corporate Law Center at the University of Cincinnati College of Law has issued the following Call for Papers on a very interesting topic. Proposals are due May 31, 2007:

The Dysfunctional Board: Causes and Cures

March 14, 2008

Hewlett-Packard presents a cautionary tale of the damage caused by distrust and dissension within the boardroom. In fall 2006, Hewlett-Packard became embroiled in a headline-grabbing scandal and disgrace when the media reported that the board had authorized the use of possibly illegal tactics to determine the source of boardroom leaks. In the resulting publicity, the underlying problem – the breach of the directors’ obligation to maintain the confidentiality of corporate information – was often overlooked. More recently, Dow Chemical announced that it had fired two senior executives, one of whom is a director, for allegedly engaging in unauthorized talks to sell the company. In another well-publicized “civil war,” in 2005 Morgan Stanley replaced its CEO and substantially reshaped its board of directors. What confluence of events can cause governance at highly-regarded corporations to go awry? This symposium will explore the causes of dysfunctional boards and attempt to formulate some possible cures.

This is a call for papers. If you are interested in presenting a paper on any aspect of this topic, please submit a proposal to Barbara Black, Charles Hartsock Professor of Law and Director, Corporate Law Center, University of Cincinnati College of Law. Submissions should be no more than 5 single-spaced pages and should be sent by e-mail by May 31 to: barbara.black@uc.edu. Presenters will be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses to attend the conference, and papers will be published in the symposium issue of the University of Cincinnati Law Review.

Confirmed Speakers: Lissa Lamkin Broome, Professor of Law, University of North Carolina School of Law Lawrence A. Cunningham, Academic Dean, Libby Scholar and Professor of Law & Business, Boston College Law School Tamar Frankel, Professor and Michaels Faculty Research Scholar, Boston University School of Law Kimberly D. Krawiec, Professor, University of North Carolina School of Law

Next month, in August, we will be hosting the Conglomerate Junior Scholars Workshop for untenured law professors or people entering the law teaching market this fall. If you are sending out a scholarly article this fall on a topic that may be interesting to Conglomerate’s readers – such as corporate law, securities, contracts, tax, finance, trade, antitrust or law and economics – we would like to link to your paper and provide a forum for you to receive feedback on your paper before you publish it or present it at a job talk.

We know that many new faculty members do not have the opportunity to present papers at national conferences and find it challenging to get others to read their work. Hopefully, this workshop will facilitate that process. We will post links to several papers every week. Each post will include an abstract of your paper, some initial comments by us or an invited guest commentator, and your response to the comments. If you read the blog or know us personally, you know that we are generally the “if you can’t say something nice” people. So, we will be supportive of your work, but give constructive criticism as necessary. We will also prohibit anonymous comments in an effort to make sure only serious commenters participate.

If any of this sounds good to you, please email me (christine.hurt at marquette.edu) with your information and an abstract of your article by July 22, 2005. Likewise, contact me if you have any questions. We have no idea how many papers we will receive, so we’re not sure how many papers will be linked per week or how many weeks the workshop will be held; please be flexible. And most importantly, please pass this invitation to others that may be interested.
