New Program of Seattle University Law Review: Law Review Authors' SeriesThis year SULR is introducing a new program called the Law Review Authors' Series. The Review intends to select two or three of its published Note or Comment student authors, set them in front of an audience, and ask them to present and defend their articles. Certain prepared audience members ask the author questions and make counterarguments so as to prove the worth of the author's article. This should be particularly informative regarding issues on the cutting edge. The first in the series will be Thursday, Sept. 30 at 5 p.m. at Sullivan Hall, Seattle University School of Law, 12th Avenue E. and E. Columbia, Room C1. Our inaugural student author is David E. Chawes, a current 4L who wrote Time Is Not on Your Side: Establishing a Consistent Statute of Limitations for the Alien Tort Claims Act at 27 Seattle U. L. Rev. 191. David won the prestigious Burton Award for this article, was last year's Note & Comment Executive Editor, and is an entertaining and thoughtful speaker. This article may be of interest to both the plaintiffs' and defense bar and may make for a provocative evening. The second in the series will be in October, and then we'll finish in November with James Pautler's by-then-published article in 28:1, You Know More Than You Think: State v. Townsend, Imputed Knowledge, and Implied Consent under the Washington Privacy Act. James has decided to take head-on a challenger, a local prosecutor who will take the opposite side.
