CALL FOR PAPERS:  For a proposed symposium  to mark the 25th anniversary of the United States Supreme Court?s landmark opinion in Batson v. Kentucky (1986), the University of Iowa College of Law invites submissions. The symposium is prompted by a need for reflection upon what a quarter-century of experience with the revolutionary constitutional restrictions that Batson and its progeny have imposed on peremptory jury challenges means for the criminal justice system. Submitted work should be prompted by the Batson doctrine (its impact, consequences and implications for the future) or, more broadly, by other concerns regarding the theory and function of the peremptory challenge.
