Just got this from the Societas Magica list (Canada or U.S, not really sure...American continent anyway, and the English-speaking one) and thought it relevant to this list also. It is a shame it is not my area of specialty, but I would love to get this book when it is done!

Subject: [SocietasMagica] Call for articles on (modern) magic and law
The following announcement was just brought to my attention. It might be of interest to some Societas members.
******************
We continue to seek contributors for a book on the relationship between law and magic. We have a commitment from a publisher, expressions of interest from several scholars, and are now seeking additional individuals to participate in the project. We are particularly interested in encouraging lawyer-magicians and magician scholars to consider participating. Topics include but are not limited to the regulation of fortune telling or other crafty sciences, the copyrightability and patentability of magic acts and devices, magic and the law of evidence, magic and trial practice, the use of magicians as expert witnesses, the legal issues raised by practices such as voodoo, and issues of gender equity in the magic profession. Chapters are due by September 1, 2007 and will run approximately 20-30 pages. If you are interested or want further information, please contact me off-list. Please feel free to forward this call for contributors to appropriate lists.
