Junior Faculty Federal Courts Workshop
October 22-23, 2009
Michigan State University College of Law, East Lansing, Michigan
The Michigan State University College of Law is pleased to announce the Second Annual Junior Faculty Federal Courts Workshop. The inaugural workshop, held in April 2008 at the American University Washington College of Law, was a resounding success attended by junior scholars from 30 law schools, resulting in publications in numerous pre-eminent journals. We aim to continue this tradition.
The workshop pairs junior and senior, federal courts scholars in a day-long, works-in-progress workshop. Senior scholars who have confirmed their attendance thus far for this year's workshop are Susan Bandes (DePaul University School of Law), Martha Field (Harvard Law School), John Jeffries (University of Virginia), Martin Redish (Northwestern University School of Law) and David Shapiro (Harvard Law School).
Workshop Agenda Drafts of papers will be distributed to participants prior to the workshop, which begins with dinner on Thursday, October 22. On Friday, October 23, following breakfast, two panels of junior scholars, composed of three to four persons each, will present papers in the morning.
After lunch, two panels of junior scholars will present papers in the afternoon. Each panel will be assigned a senior scholar who will provide commentary on the paper and lead the group discussion.
Invitees
The workshop is open to non-tenured, or newly tenured academics who teach Federal Courts (or an equivalent course) or whose scholarly agenda encompasses topics ordinarily associated with such a course. Those who do not currently hold a faculty appointment but expect that they will during the 2010-2011 academic year are also welcome. There is no registration fee for this conference.
