call for papers: National Security and Defense Review (ABA Int’l Law Section) (8/31/10 deadline)

* Call for Submissions: National Security and Defense Review (ABA Int’l Law Section) (DEADLINE AUGUST 31, 2010)

From the ABA Section on International Law (Aerospace & Defense Industries Committee & National Security Committee):

The National Security and Defense Review, a new peer-reviewed journal

published jointly by the Aerospace & Defense Industries Committee and

National Security Committee of the ABA Section of International Law, is

currently accepting submissions for its inaugural issue. The journal will

seek to inform, and to initiate discussion among, lawyers practicing in the

areas of aerospace, defense, and national security. This journal will also

seek to leverage the complimentary interests among members of the several

ABA committees that either practice or maintain an interest in

security-related developments in the law, and compile bodies of work, to be

published semi-annually, that will provide special insight to practitioners,

academics, and others working in these constantly evolving areas of law.

The NSDR is especially interested in receiving articles of fewer than 8,000

words, and shorter 500-2,000 word practice notes and legislative or policy

updates regarding developments in U.S., foreign nation, or international law

that could impact national, regional, or global security or defense. Those

interested in contributing should send their topic ideas or pre-written

submissions (along with their resume or c.v.) to ABA.NSDR by

Tuesday, August 31, 2010. The NSDR Editorial Board will make every effort

to expedite review of proposals, and expects to request authors to be able

to submit completed drafts approximately four weeks after receiving notice

that their papers have been approved, for publication expected in early

November.

Thank you very much for your interest. We’re looking forward to reviewing

your proposals.

Sincerely,

/s/
