Call for Papers associated with the Innocence Network Conference

I am always happy to use this forum to relay calls for papers and/or conferences announcements, and here is a two-fer that I received this afternoon:

The Innocence Scholarship Committee of the Innocence Network is seeking high quality social science and legal scholarship for presentation at the 2018 Innocence Network Conference in Memphis, Tennessee on March 23-24.

Areas of research are open but should touch upon the multifaceted causes, implications, and/or remedies of wrongful conviction.  International papers are welcome but must be submitted in English.  Please submit a title and paper proposal to the Innocence Scholarship Committee at this Gmail account: innocencescholarship @ gmail.com by January 16, 2018. Paper proposals must be no more than 600 words.  Completed drafts must be submitted to the Committee by March 17, 2018.

The Innocence Scholarship Committee is arranging for publication for those papers accepted for Conference presentations in a symposium edition of the Northeastern Law Review.

The Innocence Scholarship Committee is composed of the following Members: Professor Valena Beety, West Virginia Innocence Project, West Virginia College of Law; Professor Keith Findley, Wisconsin Innocence Project, University of Wisconsin Law School; Professor Stephanie Roberts Hartung, New England Innocence Project, Northeastern Law School; Associate Clinical Professor Paige Kaneb, Northern California Innocence Project at Santa Clara Law; Dr. Glinda Cooper, Innocence Project; and Ms. Vanessa Meterko, Innocence Project.
