[EL] 2015 SEALS Panel on Election Law

[Josh Douglas]

Dear Election Law Professors,

Franita Tolson, Gene Mazo, and I are organizing a panel on election law for
the SEALS Conference, which takes place in Boca Raton, Florida from July
27-August 2, 2015.  We won't know the final date of our panel until the
program comes out later this year.

We'd love to have others involved.  If you're interested in joining this
panel, which simply requires coming to SEALS and discussing the topic,
please let me know.  As the deadline for SEALS panel submissions is this
Friday, please let me know by *5:00 pm EST on Thursday, Oct. 30* if you are
interested in participating.

Here is the proposed panel description (although we welcome suggestions for
revisions from other panelists):

*Election Law and the Supreme Court: the 2014 Midterms and Beyond*

This panel will explore the Supreme Court's role in regulating the election
process during the 2014 election, with a further discussion of what this
will mean for the 2016 presidential election season.  The panel will cover
the Court's last-minute stays in cases from Ohio, North Carolina,
Wisconsin, and Texas, in which the Court stopped lower court decisions from
going into effect that would have altered the voting process for the 2014
midterm elections in those states.  The panel will also explore the two new
redistricting cases and the judicial campaign finance case the Court will
decide during the 2014-15 Term, highlighting how those decisions may alter
the electoral landscape for years to come.  Finally, the panelists will
opine on how the Court's election law doctrine might affect the 2016
presidential election season.

Thanks!

Josh
