In this issue of the Stetson Law Review, we present four prescient articles that focus on the transformative power of the law. The articles were selected pursuant to a call for papers issued by the New Law Professors Section of the American Association of Law Schools (AALS). As a professor at Stetson University College of Law, I had the opportunity to chair the New Law Professors Section during 2009, conduct the call for papers, and devote this issue of the Stetson Law Review to highlighting the works chosen. The effort would not have been possible without the help of my fellow section officers (Professors Linda Jellum, Steven Vladek, and Keith Blair) and the faculty advisor of the Stetson Law Review, Professor Mike Finch. The author of each of the pieces included here was able to present his or her article at the New Law Professors Panel during the AALS annual meeting held in New Orleans in January 2010. The goal of the call for papers was to give newer law professors the opportunity to present and get feedback on their work in that broad academic forum. The authors then continued to refine their theses and the finished products are being published here.
