Cumberland Law Review Voting Rights Act Symposium




The Cumberland Law Review is searching for articles, insights, and ideas that implicate a subject that they believe their journal is uniquely situated to explore: a sort of retrospective of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The host city, Birmingham, Ala., is one of the more prominent characters in our national recollection of the Civil Rights era and the 20th century ills that necessitated legislation such as the VRA and the Civil Rights Act.

In light of the VRA’s 50th anniversary and recent SCOTUS decisions,, from Shelby Co. to Ala. Legislative Black Caucus, they think it appropriate to devote enough space in one of their forthcoming editions to an articles symposium on point. As of now, though, the quantity and quality of articles they have received along this vein have been underwhelming, so they are casting a wide net in soliciting contributions.

If you have the time or interest in submitting or pitching articles, or just touching base with thoughts and suggestions re: other people to reach out to, please don’t hesitate to reach out to either:

Walker Mason Beauchamp, Editor-in-Chief, Cumberland Law Review
wbeaucha@samford.edu / 205-821-5800

or

Stewart J. Alvis, Acquisitions Editor, Cumberland Law Review
salvis@samford.edu

I submitted one of my post about this subject and have be told they will take a couple of weeks to go through the responses.
