Boston University Law Review Online Symposia
Since 2013, Boston University Law Review Online has selected a trending topic or recently published legal book or article on which to hold an online symposium. Scholars in the field contribute commentaries. For book and article symposia, the author has an opportunity to respond to those comments.
Recent Online Symposia:
Carla D. Pratt’s Indianness as Property
In the B.U. Law Review’s 2025 February issue, Professor Carla D. Pratt published an article titled Indianness as Property, 105 B.U. L. Rev. 311 (2025). Since then, three scholars have submitted invited responses. One of the three is forthcoming and will be updated accordingly.
