Conference Poster

Paper proposals are invited around the conference theme “Poverty and Economic Mobility” for a scholarly gathering at American University Washington College of Law on Monday Oct. 26, 2009.  Papers fitting broadly with the theme will be considered.  If you are interested, please email paper title and abstract to Ezra Rosser at [email protected].  Papers in all stages of completion are invited, though the hope is that they will be at a stage where they could be improved through conference participation.  Food during the day will be provided but participants are responsible for their own travel and lodging.

At the University of Chicago Law School last year, Justice Scalia put forward his view on poverty law: “I took nothing but bread-and-butter classes, not ‘Law and Poverty,’ or other made-up stuff.  Take serious classes.  There’s too much to law to learn.  Don’t waste your time.”  Whatever one’s feelings about Justice Scalia’s remarks, they arguably do say something about the marginalized place of poverty law and poverty scholarship.  After enjoying some attention during the war on poverty, it has been a long time since poverty law was ‘sexy.’  Maybe it is time to think about economic mobility.  This might be way of ‘bootstrapping’ attention while also providing a missing perspective on poverty.

Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the Ancient Greek οἰκονομία (oikonomia, "management of a household, administration") from οἶκος (oikos, "house") + νόμος (nomos, "custom" or "law"), hence "rules of the house(hold)".[1] Current economic models developed out of the broader field of political economy in the late 19th century, owing to a desire to use an empirical approach more akin to the physical sciences.

Mmmm, looks absolutely delicious. I used to look forward to Caribbean black cake at weddings and other special events. Then I became a vegan, and that was the end of that. I'd love to sample this! Any chance you'd be willing to share the recipe? :)
