Subject: New Tort Law Journal and Conference and Call for Papers

Attached, and reprinted below, are announcements of a Torts Conference (at Columbia Law School) and a Call for Papers in Torts. Both the Conference and the Call for Papers are in connection with the launching, in September of 2006, of a new peer-reviewed online journal, the Journal of Tort Law.

Please distribute this to those who might be interested in attending, and those junior colleagues who might be interested in submitting a paper. I hope that some of you will find it worthwhile to come to New York this September for the conference.

Sincerely,

Ben Zipursky
