CALL FOR PAPERS, NOVA LAW REVIEW ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM 2022
UNDER PRESSURE: LEGAL AND SYSTEMIC RESPONSES TO THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19
Nova Southeastern University (“NSU”) Shepard Broad College of Law and the Nova Law Review seek submissions for the Law Review’s annual Symposium on March 11, 2022. Since January 2020, COVID-19 has ravaged the United States’ population physically, economically, and psychologically. Caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (“COVID-19”), the pandemic simultaneously decimated the population, shuttered businesses, and traumatized those experiencing its effects. Consequently, increased prevalence of mental, neurological, and substance use disorders already has and will continue to present the legal system with challenges of previously unknown proportions. As mental health professionals substantiate and address the negative impacts of uncertainty, fear, isolation, and economic hardship, legal issues are multiplying.
The Nova Law Review invites academics, scholars, practitioners, and stakeholders to submit proposals for panel presentations on topics involving the legal impact of the psychological trauma produced by COVID-19 in the United States. These may include, but are not limited to, the following:
THE EFFECT OF ISOLATION
- Depression - Suicide - Substance Use - Domestic Violence - Disability Discrimination - Food Insecurity - Eating Disorders - Separations/Divorces
BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT MATTERS
- Employment Discrimination - Bankruptcy - Unemployment - Evictions - COVID-19 Fraud - Insurance Coverage
SOCIAL JUSTICE
- Health Equity - Racial Trauma - Health Justice - Vaccine Passports - Research Ethics - Barriers to Access - Travel Restrictions Separating Families
SYSTEMIC CONSIDERATIONS
- Treatment Courts - Recidivism - Therapeutic Jurisprudence - E-Health - Health Care Facility Regulation - Regulation of Medical Professionals - Health Care Rationing
The Symposium presents an opportunity for academics, practitioners, health care providers, and students in a variety of legal and mental health fields to exchange ideas and explore emerging issues. Interdisciplinary presentations are highly encouraged.
