Call for Articles: Southern Illinois University Law Journal

From an email that I received earlier today:

CALL FOR PAPERS: GUANTANAMO BAY: WHAT NEXT?

The Southern Illinois University Law Journal is
seeking scholarly legal articles from newer legal scholars for possible
inclusion in a special Symposium issue on legal issues arising from the
continued detention and trial of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. The SIU Law
Journal is dedicated to producing scholarly publications of the highest
quality attainable.

There have been several recent developments pertaining to Guantanamo Bay,
ranging from the constitutionality of the process of indefinitely detaining
so-called "enemy combatants" to the hurdles faced by the attorneys
who have chosen, or been chosen, to represent those detained there.  For
years now, Guantanamo Bay has been a focus of the debate about the proper
balance between liberty and security.  Despite its unpopularity among
many, it appears that Guantanamo Bay, for the time being, is not going
away.  This Symposium issue of the SIU Law Journal will seek to
address many of the continuing legal issues surrounding Guantanamo Bay from all
viewpoints and provide a platform for legal scholars to present new research
and ideas on this important topic.

The SIU Law Journal will choose the best Symposium article from a newer
law faculty member (defined as a law faculty member who has been part of the
legal academy for seven (7) years or less) on a legal issue pertaining to
Guantanamo Bay.  The article should be approximately twenty to twenty-five
pages in length.  Three law professors from Southern Illinois University
School of Law and the Editor-in-Chief of the SIU Law Journal will select the
best article submitted, which will be published in the Symposium issue of the SIU
Law Journal.  In addition, the author of the chosen article will be
invited to attend the Guantanamo Bay Symposium at SIU School of Law on
February 22, 2013, all travel expenses paid, to give a presentation on the
topic of his or her article.  Although only one scholar will be invited to
participate in the symposium through this call for papers, the SIU Law
Journal will consider the other articles submitted for publication in the
Symposium issue.

The full manuscript, in Word format, should be e-mailed to the Editor-in-Chief
by the deadline indicated below.  Please feel free to contact the
Editor-in-Chief, Brian Lee, at bdlee@siu.edu
if you have any questions or concerns.
