Constitutional Law Institute Standing Doctrine Conference
Room V
1111 East 60th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60637
Call for Papers: Join us on September 22 at the University of Chicago Law School for our Standing Doctrine Conference.
The Constitutional Law Institute invites draft papers on any aspect of the doctrine of standing. Article III of the Constitution confines the federal judicial power to "cases" and "controversies." Under modern doctrine, courts enforce that requirement by demanding that plaintiffs in every case demonstrate "standing" to sue. In recent years, the doctrine has transformed and raised many new questions -- legal, historical, and practical. Future decisions may well transform it still further.
Papers will be presented and discussed at the conference. Please submit any interested papers by August 1 to conlawinstitute@gmail.com. Chosen papers will be notified by August 15.
