Michigan Law School 2018 Junior Scholars’ Conference

April 26-27, 2019

Call for Papers

Deadline for Submission: January 12, 2019

Overview

The University of Michigan Law School invites junior scholars to attend the 5th Annual Junior Scholars’ Conference which will be held on April 26-27, 2019 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The conference provides junior scholars with a platform to present and discuss their work with peers and receive detailed feedback from prominent members of the Michigan Law faculty. The Conference aims to promote fruitful collaboration between participants and to encourage their integration into a community of legal scholars.

The Junior Scholars conference is intended for academics – in both law and related disciplines – that are current doctoral candidates or recent graduates of an SJD/PhD program. Additionally, applications from postdoctoral researchers, lectures, fellows, and assistant professors (pre-tenure) of law are very much welcomed providing the applicant has not held an academic position for more than four years.  

Cooperation with Michigan Law Journals

We are excited that this year the conference will collaborate with several Michigan Law journals, all of which are amongst the highest ranked in their respective fields. The Michigan Journal of International Law, the Michigan Technology Law Review, and the Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review will give serious consideration to papers selected for the conference that are within each journal’s research agenda. Additional details on the selection process for publication will be provided after selection for participation in the conference itself has been completed. In any event, there will be no obligation to accept any offer of publication that you may receive.

Submission

To apply to the conference, please send an abstract of no more than 500 words reflecting the unpublished work that you wish to present, a copy of your CV, and a writing sample (published or unpublished) to: [e-mail] by January 12, 2019.

Selection will be based on the quality and originality of the abstract as well as its capacity to engage with other proposals and to foster a collaborative dialogue.

Selected presenters will be notified no later than February 4, 2019.

Final papers will be due on April 1, 2019 so that they may be sent to your faculty commentator and circulated among participants in advance.

Financial Assistance

The University of Michigan Law School may allocate limited funds to help cover partial travel expenses and accommodation for selected participants. If you wish to be considered for financial assistance, please submit a separate written request along with your abstract submission specifying your city of departure and an estimate of travel costs. We regret in advance that we are unable to provide full financial assistance to participants.

We very much look forward to receiving your submissions. Questions can be directed to the Organizing Committee Chair through either of the email addresses below.
