The Kentucky Law Journal is pleased to invite proposals for its annual symposium, which will be held in the Fall of 2024. The KLJ symposium is entitled Executive Powers: A Changing Landscape of Authority and will focus on the future of executive powers in the state of Kentucky as well as the future of the federal executive branch with an eye toward the 2024 election.
The symposium will focus on the legal and policy implications of the 2024 election and how this may change executive power in the near future. We also want to encourage discussion of state executive branches and their importance in the system. This symposium aims to bring together practitioners, policy researchers, and scholars to explore a variety of issues related to executive branch power. Ideas for potential discussion include presidential national security powers, checking the executive, impeachment, and other timely issues related to the 2024 presidential election. KLJ encourages a wide range of viewpoints on upcoming issues that federal and state executives will face.
KLJ expects to host this symposium in beautiful Lexington, Kentucky, on October 18, 2024 (date subject to change). In addition to presentations at the symposium event, presenters will have the opportunity to publish pieces in Volume 113 of the Kentucky Law Journal, or in the Kentucky Law Journal Online. The editors are particularly interested in publications in the range of 8,000–12,000 words, or shorter pieces for the online edition. In order to apply for the symposium, please submit an abstract of no more than 1,000 words, including whether or not you would like the piece to be considered for publication. In addition, please submit a current CV. Submissions are due by August 2, 2024, at kentuckylawjournal@uky.edu. Please send any questions to pkte222@uky.edu. Thank you and we look forward to working with you!
