Annual Scholarship Conference
October 19-20
Cleveland-Marshall College of Law
The Central States Law Schools
Association 2012 Scholarship Conference will be held October 19 and 20, 2012 at
the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, in Cleveland, Ohio. We invite law faculty from across the country to
submit proposals to present papers or works in progress.
The
purpose of CSLSA is to foster scholarly exchanges among law faculty across
legal disciplines. The annual CSLSA conference is a forum for legal scholars,
especially more junior scholars, to present working papers or finished articles
on any law-related topic in a relaxed and supportive setting where junior and
senior scholars from various disciplines are available to comment. More
mature scholars have an opportunity to test new ideas in a less formal setting
than is generally available for their work.
To
allow scheduling of the conference, please send an abstract of no more than 500
words to Secretary Missy Lonegrass at Missy.Lonegrass@law.lsu.edu by September 22, 2012. Any
late submissions will be considered on a space available basis only.
For those who are
interested, the CSLSA mentorship program pairs interested junior scholars with
more senior mentors in their fields of expertise to provide feedback on their
presentations or papers. To participate
in the mentorship program as either a mentor or mentee, please contact
Vice-President Elizabeth Young at ely001@uark.edu.
In
keeping with tradition, CSLSA is able to pay for one night’s lodging for presenters
from member schools. If a school is
interested in joining CSLSA and has not received an invoice, please contact Treasurer
Carolyn Dessin at cld3@uakron.edu.
