Sean Nolon from Vermont Law School asked me to post the following RFP for the 3rd Annual Colloquium on Environmental Law.  From his email sent out to the ADR listserv:

For those of you who are working on scholarship in the area of environmental dispute resolution, let me direct your attention to an upcoming event at Vermont Law School.  For the third year, we are hosting what is becoming a large (and fun) gathering of environmental scholars for a work-in-progress event this October 12th.  This year, we have dedicated a session to workshop articles dealing with environmental dispute resolution.  I will be presenting one of my articles and I would love to see any of you who are working on similar projects.

If you have any questions, contact Sean directly.  And here’s the call for papers:

Vermont Law School will host the Third Annual Colloquium on Environmental Scholarship on October 12, 2012. The Colloquium offers the opportunity for environmental law scholars to present their works-in-progress and recent scholarship, to get feedback from their colleagues, and to meet and interact with those who are also teaching and researching in the environmental and natural resources law area.

If you are interested in presenting a paper at the Colloquium, please submit your contact information, a working title and short abstract using our online form by April 30. For an abstract to be eligible for submission, the author must anticipate that the paper will still be at a revisable stage (neither published nor so close to publication that significant changes are not feasible) by the date of the Colloquium. We will do our best to include all interested presenters, and will notify authors about acceptances no later than May 2012.

All selected participants will be required to submit a paper draft no later than October 1, 2012, and all participants will be asked to provide commentary on another participant’s paper draft at the Colloquium. Final papers will also be eligible for publication in the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law.

The Colloquium will take place on Friday, October 12, and Vermont Law School’s Environmental Law Center and its faculty will host a cocktail reception on Thursday evening, and dinner on Friday evening. Further Colloquium details regarding schedule, events, lodging, and transportation will be forthcoming and available at www.vermontlaw.edu/ces2012.
