CFP: Festscrift in Honor of Professor Lenora Ledwon

CFP for Abstracts or Drafts in Honor of Professor Lenora Ledwon

Call for Papers

We are delighted to invite abstract submissions (or full drafts, if ready) for a festschrift of essays and articles in honor of Professor Lenora Ledwon. The volume is being edited by Professors Christine Corcos (LSU Law) and Christian Lee Gonzalez-Rivera (STU Law). 

The volume aims to celebrate Professor Ledwon’s multifaceted and engaging academic contributions. We invite pieces reflecting on any aspect of her work as well as original pieces unrelated to the latter. The central theme, however, is that of Law and Literature, both specifically as a jurisprudential approach and, more generally, as that boundless intersection between law, literature, and pop culture. Any reflection, then, on the relationship between any two of these three is welcome. This is a rare and wonderful occasion for senior and young professors in the field to publish jointly. 

The contributions will be published as a book, whether as a special volume of the St. Thomas Law Review or with an academic publisher, in Fall of 2027 or Spring of 2028. The pieces should range between 10,000 and 25,000 words, but we will consider submissions longer than that. 

The deadline to submit abstracts (or ready drafts) to secure a place is September 22, 2026. 

For submissions and any other questions, please contact Professors Corcos (ccorcos@lsu.edu) or Gonzalez-Rivera (cgonzalezrivera@stu.edu).
