CFP: Article III Standing to Sue

The University of Chicago Law School's Constitutional Law Institute will host a conference on Article III Standing to Sue on September 22.

 

The Constitutional Law Institute invites draft papers on any aspect of the doctrine of standing. Article III of the Constitution confines the federal judicial power to "cases" and "controversies." Under modern doctrine, courts enforce that requirement by demanding that plaintiffs in every case demonstrate "standing" to sue. In recent years, the doctrine has transformed and raised many new questions -- legal, historical, and practical. Future decisions may well transform it still further.

 

Papers will be presented and discussed at the conference. Please submit any interested papers by August 1 to [email protected]. Chosen papers will be notified by August 15.
