Dear Alumni, Partners, and Friends,
I am writing to bring your attention to two wonderful initiatives from the Graduate Legal Studies program at Indiana University Maurer School of Law and to invite you to submit an article to the Maurer Global Forum. First, I’m very happy to introduce the Maurer Global Forum, an online journal/blog established and managed by our current S.J.D. scholars and alumni. The goal of the Forum is to promote research ideas and visions for the future, share professional experiences, and build the Maurer global community.
One really interesting component of the Forum is the “Meet the Maurer Alumni Series” - a series of interviews with some of our most accomplished alumni. In these interviews, alumni discuss their paths from student to professional, what they’re doing currently, and what they remember best about studying at Maurer School of Law. It’s such a pleasure to feature our amazing alumni and get to know them better!
In addition, the Forum is inviting submissions from legal scholars and experts interested in publishing short, timely, online articles on any topic. Please feel free to share with your colleagues and doctoral students who might be interested in publishing with the Forum. The Submission Policy can be found below the Call for Articles. Currently, the Forum is featuring a call for articles related to 1) the Dobbs case and abortion rights, and 2) the Metaverse. More about these article series can be found on the website here: https://blogs.iu.edu/maurerglobalforum/article/call-for-papers/.
Another exciting initiative is the collaboration between Maurer's Graduate Colloquium and the “Law as Science” project. The Law as Science project was founded by S.J.D. scholars from prestigious law schools around the United States to explore “scientific methodologies that provide systematic ways to approach questions and deliver falsifiable claims.” The project invites scholars with diverse methodological backgrounds to conduct lectures, workshop research ideas, and form roundtable discussions with the goal of engaging scholars globally and helping find common ground.
You are invited to attend any of the Law as Science events for 2023, including the series "Is Originalism a Methodology in Legal Research?” featuring Lawrence Solum (Feb. 24) and Erwin Chemerinsky (Mar. 3). Register now for these exciting, one-of-a-kind events!
As always, thank you for your kind support of Indiana University Maurer School of Law and the Graduate Legal Studies program!
Warm wishes,
Gabrielle
