With the establishment of modern Islamic states and the incorporation of ḥudūd into their legal systems\, these punishments have become a cause célèbre\, contributing to heightened anti-Muslim sentiment\, Islamophobia\, and criticism from international human rights organizations. In response\, some contemporary Muslim scholars have called for the suspension of ḥudūd\, presenting a range of theological\, jurisprudential\, and political arguments. These calls\, however\, face substantial resistance from traditionalists who view ḥudūd as an essential component of sharīʿa. This has resulted in a polarized debate between proponents and opponents of ḥudūd\, with each side presenting consequentialist and deontological arguments. The ongoing debate between pro-and anti-ḥudūd jurists not only underscores the conflict between progressive and conservative viewpoints but also challenges the foundational socio-legal and ethical norms within diverse societies. This debate invites further arguments and reflections to uncover subtler dimensions\, challenge prevailing assumptions\, and contribute to a deeper understanding of the intersection between Islamic law\, human rights\, international relations\, and the global reputation of Muslims. \nThis special issue calls for work that will delve into both theoretical and practical dimensions of ḥudūd suspension\, offering a comprehensive examination of this complex issue. Thematically\, we invite papers that explore juristic and theological arguments related to the suspension of ḥudūd punishments\, including interpretations of the Qur’ān and ḥadīth\, as well as the theoretical and practical challenges that impede the suspension of ḥudūd across various jurisdictions. Papers offering real-world examples of the implementation or suspension of ḥudūd laws in countries such as Pakistan\, Saudi Arabia\, Sudan\, and Malaysia\, and other relevant states are particularly welcome. Submissions are also encouraged to address the broader implications of these legal practices\, including their impact on social and political dynamics\, and their influence on international perceptions of Islamic law. We encourage discussions that incorporate a diverse array of perspectives—legal\, political\, and sociological—to elucidate the complexities and challenges of navigating ḥudūd laws in today’s global context. By integrating these varied viewpoints\, we aim to foster a nuanced understanding of the ongoing debates and practical realities surrounding ḥudūd suspension. \nWe seek articles of up to 15\,000 words for the Journal of Islamic Law\, and essays of up to 5\,000 words for the Journal of Islamic Law Online Forum. Submissions for this year’s special issue are due by January 13\, 2025\, and must be submitted through either Scholastica or our online submissions portal. Once accepted\, the paper goes through a process of peer review\, a final decision on acceptance\, editing\, and publication. This special issue of the Journal of Islamic Law is edited by Bahman Khodadadi (skhodadadi@law.harvard.edu)\, research fellow at Harvard Law School’s Program in Islamic Law\, and will be published in April 2025.

Each Elements Series is comprised of 30-50 short volumes\, with each volume 30\,000 to 40\,000 words all inclusive. Each volume is made available on-line in various formats and with print options. The volumes in each Element Series are thematically related\, and together provide comprehensive coverage of a topic\, while also mapping scholarly frontiers or taking up new questions. Each volume in the Series\, however\, is a free-standing entry\, and it moves into production when it’s ready – the process takes approximately 12 weeks from final manuscript to publication. \n Our “Elements Series” will be developed on the broad topic of “law and religion.” The topic of each volume in the series is largely up to the author but must be able to be treated comprehensively in an authoritative and accessible manner with light footnoting. We invite proposals of 150-200 words total\, together with a link to your updated biography. Proposals will be reviewed on receipt by CSLR Faculty Director John Witte and CSLR Executive Director Whittney Barth\, and then collectively by our Cambridge University Press editor. \n If you are interested\, please send your proposal and biographical link to CSLR Chief of Staff Amy Wheeler (amy.wheeler@emory.edu).

Grey Fellows teach legal writing\, research\, and analysis to small sections of first-year students each quarter\, while writing their own scholarship in preparation for entering the market for teaching positions at law schools across the country. Over the last fifteen years\, we have had a near- perfect record in placing Fellows in tenure track faculty positions. We are committed to developing a diverse set of scholars and strongly encourage applications from individuals with a broad range of life experiences\, perspectives\, and backgrounds who would contribute to \nStanford Law School and the legal academia. \nPractice background and teaching. Applicants must have a J.D. and at least two years of law practice or clerkship experience in the US before starting the fellowship. Many Fellows have substantially more law practice experience. Fellows teach two courses\, both taught as simulations. In the fall\, Fellows teach Legal Writing\, a two-unit course in which thirty students write a persuasive brief. In the winter and spring\, Fellows teach Federal Litigation in a Global Context\, a course split into two 2-unit quarters that models pre-trial motion practice in a transnational lawsuit. Eighteen students write and argue two motions. Fellows give students written and in-person feedback on legal writing and oral argument. Fellows receive teacher training and instructional materials. Many Fellows go on to win teaching awards as law professors. \nMentorship. Faculty mentors help Fellows develop their scholarship and place favorably on the teaching market. Faculty on the Legal Research and Writing Committee advise Fellows on their research and match Fellows with faculty mentors in related fields. Fellows participate in: weekly workshops\, one with faculty\, another with other Fellows\, junior faculty\, and JD/PhDs; and the annual Grey Fellows Forum\, a spring gathering with our community of current and former Fellows who share feedback on works-in-progress and mentor Fellows preparing for the academic job market. Fellow jobtalk papers have been published at flagship law reviews\, including at Harvard\, Chicago\, Stanford\, NYU\, and Georgetown. And in the year Fellows go on the teaching market\, faculty members review FAR forms\, CVs\, and research agendas\, and moot job talks and interviews. \nSalary and appointment. The fellowship is full-time with an expected starting base pay of $85\,000. Fellows are also provided an annual budget for professional development and research\, such as attending conferences and hiring research assistants. The initial term of appointment is one year beginning in August. Fellows are expected\, on reappointment\, to serve a second and third year. Reappointments are granted on demonstrated excellence in teaching\, citizenship in the legal writing program and at the law school\, and progress on legal scholarship. \nApply by October 15.
