conference: global economics and immigration policy, 10/24
Just got this email on the late side, so I apologize for the lack of notice. My alma mater, UC Hastings, is sponsoring a conference entitled “ Cities and Counties in the Global Economy: Local Immigration and Economic Policies under a Microscope“. Time and location:
October 24, 2008
8:30 am to 4:00 pm, Reception to FollowUC Hastings College of the Law
198 McAllister Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
And here is some more information on the topics to be covered:
Cities and counties respond to the global economy in creative and sometimes controversial ways. On the economic side, cities flex their economic muscle through community development agreements, project labor agreements, living wage ordinances and the like. On the immigration side, day laborer ordinances, sanctuary and non-cooperation policies, and state and federal preemption dominate council rooms and courtrooms.
Do these policies work? What legal issues do they raise? What challenges do they pose for the basic legal, political and economic framework of local government?
Should be intriguing, though I don’t think I can make it on such sort notice personally. The more detailed brochure can be found here, and registration link is here.
