DEADLINE TODAY for Submissions to host 2012 WIP conference

We have several great submissions. If you are interested in adding to our list, please do so by 5 pm today.

The WIP host institution is responsible for organizing all of the logistics for the conference, from picking dates, lining up hotels, and scheduling receptions and presentations. The conference host, assisted by the Conference Planning Committee (consisting of representatives of previous host institutions), is responsible for choosing the papers to be presented.

The Section’s Executive Committee will consider several criteria in selecting the next host institution, including:

• Proximity to a major airport and reasonably-priced hotels
• Planned outreach to attract junior faculty
• Planned or demonstrated outreach to attract law faculty from regional law schools
• Demonstrated engagement with the ADR academic community
• Planned mechanisms to enhance attendance and participation by knowledgeable local professionals
• Indications of institutional support for the conference (e.g., funds for meals, sufficient staffing)
• Planned mechanisms to enhance the rigorous yet collegial atmosphere of the program
• Demonstrated experience with hosting similar events
• Planned mechanisms for appropriate consultation with the Conference Planning Committee regarding conference preparation, publicity, and presenter selection
• Any special circumstances that support an institution’s application

Proposals should be sent to Kelly Browe Olson, immediate past Chair of the AALS Dispute Resolution Section at kbolson@ualr.edu TODAY by 5:00 pm central time. Please put “AALS ADR Section WIP Conference Proposal” in the subject matter line.
