Hi everyone–as I’ve already posted, we are delighted to host the 10th Annual AALS Works-in-Progress conference at Marquette.   Consider this your midsummer reminder.  Registrations have started pouring in (well, a steady stream!) and we would be happy to fill the agenda even more.

The conference will start Thursday night, September 22nd and end after lunch on Saturday, September 24th.  The webpage is located here.

As many of the readers on this blog know, the AALS Works-in-Progress is a wonderful opportunity for dispute resolution scholars to present works at any stage from research concepts to papers that have been accepted for publication and are still in the editing phase. The Works-in-Progress Conference consistently provides a supportive and collegial environment to present new scholarship.

For the second time, (and following the precedent set by Texas A&M University School of Law last year) Marquette will also be providing up to $750 in travel stipends for up to five junior faculty. We will give priority to junior faculty who have never before attended the AALS ADR Section Works-in-Progress conference. We will award the travel stipends on a first-come-first-serve basis.  As of now, there are still a few of these stipends left.  If any of the five stipends remain after awarding the stipends to junior faculty who have not yet attended, the remaining stipends will be awarded to junior faculty who have attended before, also on a first-come-first-served basis.

Please register soon so that we can set our agenda and make plenty of yummy food reservations.  Looking forward to seeing you !
