The Nova Law Review is now accepting submissions for the Volume 51 Symposium Book, to be published in 2027.
Nova Southeastern University’s (“NSU”) Shepard Broad College of Law and the Nova Law Review seek submissions for the Symposium Book. The Nova Law Review serves judges, practitioners, scholars, and students by publishing outstanding legal scholarship and enhancing the intellectual climate of the Shepard Broad College of Law. Through its collaboration with the legal community, the Nova Law Review provides timely and thought-provoking commentary from judges, law professors, legal practitioners, and select students.
Rapid advances in technology continue to redefine the boundaries of legal protections and privacy. From government surveillance and facial recognition to artificial intelligence, digital communications, and electronic health records, emerging technologies challenge longstanding legal doctrines while creating new opportunities for innovation. The Volume 51 Symposium will examine the evolving relationship between fundamental liberties, privacy, and technological innovation, as courts, legislatures, and regulators are increasingly called upon to balance innovation with the protection of individual rights.
The Nova Law Review invites academics, post-graduate students, practitioners, scholars, and stakeholders to submit proposals for the Symposium Book. We aim to publish articles that will contribute to the numerous legal debates and discussions surrounding emerging technologies and their impact on civil liberties, democratic institutions, privacy, and public safety. As a result, articles published in the Symposium Book may address a wide range of legal issues relating to constitutional law, data and privacy protection, emerging technologies, health care and medical privacy, and law, policy, and regulation.
