Call For Papers. With the accolades at last month’s American Law Institute meeting ringing in its ears, Restatement (Third) of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment (R3RUE) reached final form, subject only to conforming and editorial changes. This splendid achievement for the ALI, Reporter Andrew Kull, and all who assisted is now ready to face the curiosity and candor of the legal profession.  In aid of that we issue this Call for Papers.

       The Frances Lewis Law Center, the Washington and Lee Law Review, and the American Law Institute are delighted to sponsor  a conference, Restitution Rollout: Restatement (Third) of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment, on February 25, 2011. Reporter Andrew Kull and ALI Director Lance Liebman will introduce R3RUE. The Washington and Lee Law Review will publish a R3RUE symposium issue featuring the conference papers.

       The sponsors’ goal is to encourage and recognize excellent legal scholarship on R3RUE and restitution. To advance their goal, the sponsors invite lawyers, judges, and scholars to submit papers on the brand-new restatement. A paper may praise or criticize the whole restatement or any particular section of it.

       An author should submit his or her manuscript for consideration before November 1, 2010. Papers specifying the Conference may be mailed to the Washington and Lee Law Review or sent electronically to lgearheart@wlu.edu. The Washington and Lee Law Review Articles Editors and Professor Doug Rendleman will review the papers. Selected authors will be notified before December 1, 2010.

       The authors will present their selected papers at the February 25 Restitution Rollout conference. The selected papers will be published later in 2011 in a symposium edition of the Washington and Lee Law Review. The sponsors will be pleased to reimburse each selected author’s travel expenses and pay each an honorarium of $1000.

       Even if you will not be able to submit a paper, the sponsors  invite you to attend the Restitution Rollout conference. There will be no charge for attending the conference. The selected papers will be available on the Restitution Rollout Conference website as well as in paper form for those who attend. The Frances Lewis Law Center is a licensed Virginia Continuing Legal Education provider which will supply six hours of Virginia CLE credit for those attending. The conference website is http://law.wlu.edu/restitution. A detailed brochure will be available later.
