Sponsor: As part of a leading research university, Syracuse University College of Law combines a balanced academic commitment to scholarship, teaching, and research. Interdisciplinary programs at the College of Law partner our offerings with other schools and colleges to create initiatives that cross academic barriers - thus our students gain both a sound doctrinal legal education and practical hands-on experience in the real world. The College of Law includes nine academic interdisciplinary centers and institutes led by nationally recognized faculty.
Description: The Animal Law journal provides a forum for posting both completed works and works in progress on legal, policy, and jurisprudential issues relating to animals.
It includes within its scope wildlife, domestic animals, and farm animals. Subject matter includes, but is not limited to, torts, tax, public heath, family law, commercial transactions, contracts, agricultural law, law and rhetoric, international business transactions and international trade, constitutional law, criminal law, property, insurance, estates and trusts, comparative law, foreign law, or other areas of the law, as they relate to animals. Abstracts are welcomed which broadly approach the area, including discourses regarding the jurisprudence of animal rights and animals as sentient beings. We welcome abstracts on practice, theory, and empirical research as related to the topic.

Editor: Donald M. Kreis, Associate Director and Assistant Professor of Law, Vermont Law School, Institute for Energy and the Environment
Sponsor: The journal is sponsored by the Institute for Energy and the Environment at the Vermont Law School, home to one of the nation's leading environmental law programs. The Institute for Energy and the Environment serves as a resource on energy law and policy. The Institute develops scholarly, technical, and practical publications, provides forums and conferences for professional education and issue development, and serves as a center for graduate research on energy issues, with an emphasis on the environmental implications of these issues.
The Institute is affiliated with Vermont Law School's Environmental Law Center, which offers the most comprehensive environmental law and policy curriculum in the nation for law students, and also confers the Master of Environmental Law and Policy (MELP) and Master of Laws in Environmental Law (LLM) degrees, as well as a joint JD/MELP degree. The Vermont Law School's Environmental Law Center is also home to the Environmental Tax Policy Institute, Climate Legacy Initiative, Land Use Institute, Partnership for Environmental Law in China, and Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic.
Description: Energy Law & Policy will publish abstracts, working and policy papers, forthcoming articles, and recently published articles dealing with the production, transmission, distribution, conservation, and use of energy, as well as the environmental and social implications of these issues, both in the U.S. and internationally. The journal will discuss questions related to electricity, heating and cooling in both residential and commercial settings, the transportation sector, and energy policy as it relates to industry and economic activity generally. Although the primary focus of the journal is law, materials will also be published that focus on economics, engineering, finance, and the social sciences when they affect the development of energy-related law and policy.
