We are proud to announce this year?s Symposium: ?Rights Protection in International Criminal Law and Beyond.? It will take place on March 16th and 17th, 2018.
It begins at 1:10 PM Friday and we have three panels until 5:30 PM. Our second day begins on Saturday at 8:30 when there will be a light breakfast. There will be two panels beginning at 9:15 and ending 12:30. The Symposium is being held at the National Center for State Courts, which is located right next to the law school.
There will be a wide range of topics such as Rights in Prosecutions Involving Sexual and Gender Based Violence and the Human Rights Impact of Evidentiary Rules. Speakers are traveling from abroad as well as from over the United States.
Ranked 3rd in student-edited constitutional law journals by Washington and Lee?s law library, the William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal is published in four issues per annual volume, adding almost 1,400 pages to the Institute?s scholarly corpus each year. Containing both student-edited professional articles and student-written notes, staff membership is open to all interested students, but the competition for admission is intense.
Each year, as the Institute sponsors symposia on topics of contemporary constitutional significance, leading scholars from around the nation assemble at the School of Law to present papers and debate their merits. Subsequently, these papers are published in the Journal, making these symposia one of the most significant academic forums for the publication of scholarship on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
