Submission Deadline: 24 September 2010
In honor of Professor Jerome A. Cohen, who turns 80 on July 1, the New York University Journal of International Law and Politics is seeking papers addressing the interaction between the international legal system and Chinese and East Asian law and legal thought. East Asia’s distinctive institutions and legal systems continue to engage in a thought-provoking conversation with the global legal order, one that challenges traditional assumptions about international law.
Such interaction shows signs of effecting transformative changes both within domestic systems and at the international level. With the Jerome A. Cohen Prize, the Journal of International Law and Politics will honor a novel contribution to this growing body of scholarship. Papers may focus on any substantive discipline, although special consideration will be given to work relating to the subject areas currently taught by Professor Cohen: criminal justice, foreign investment law, and the role of Chinese legal thought in international law.
Submissions will be due 24 September 2010, and one paper will be selected for publication in the spring issue of the Journal. Other high-quality submissions also will be considered for publication. Submissions are expected to be fully formed, though the winner will be given a chance to substantially edit his or her piece before publication.
The winning essay will lead the spring issue of the Journal (issue No. 43:3). It will be preceded by an introduction, explaining that the essay was chosen through highly competitive and selective process, and giving an overview of the contributions of Professor Cohen to Chinese legal scholarship and U.S.-China relations. The winning essay will also be the subject of discussion, both in print and online, and the Journal of International Law and Politics will seek responses from among NYU faculty and fellows.
