From FOI, Prof. Ron Aronovsky (Southwestern Law)

Dear Colleagues:

Registration is now open for the AALS ADR Section’s Eighth Annual Works-in-Progress Conference!

The Conference:  Southwestern is honored to host this year’s WIP Conference.  The Conference has traditionally provided a welcoming and interactive forum where ADR scholars from across the country can share their current research, obtain feedback, exchange ideas, reconnect with colleagues and build new collaborative working relationships.  At the conference, junior and senior ADR scholars present their current work-in-progress, ranging from research ideas for a future article to full draft papers. Conference attendees share their insights about the presentation topic and offer constructive feedback to the presenter.  If they wish, presenters who timely submit a full draft of a work-in-progress paper will also be assigned an experienced scholar as commenter.

The Schedule:  The Conference will begin with a welcoming reception hosted by Southwestern on the evening of Thursday, November 6.  Friday, November 7 will feature a full day of presentations, along with continental breakfast, luncheon and dinner hosted by Southwestern.  The Conference will conclude on Saturday, November 8 with a half-day of presentations, as well as continental breakfast and lunch hosted by Southwestern.

Registration:  To register for the Conference or to get more information, please go to www.swlaw.edu/adrwip.   There is no registration fee (attendees are responsible for their own travel and lodging expenses).  To download an informational flyer about the Conference, please click here.

We hope to see you this November at the Conference.

Best, Ron
