Announcement: Third Annual Junior Federal Courts Faculty Workshop

By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel

ADVERTISEMENTS

I'm very pleased to post the following announcement from my friend and colleague Jamelle Sharpe from the University of Illinois. My colleague Amanda Frost and I put on the "first" of these shindigs two years ago, and it's a real joy to see the continuing success of this venture:

The Third Annual Junior Federal Courts Faculty Workshop 



The University of Illinois College of Law is pleased to announce that the Third Annual Junior Faculty Federal Courts Workshop will take place at the Club Quarters, Central Loop, 111 W. Adams St., Chicago, IL on October 7-8, 2010.  Last year?s workshop, held in October 2009 at the Michigan State University College of Law, was a resounding success attended by junior scholars from 30 law schools, resulting in publications in numerous preeminent 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 for this year?s workshop are Richard Freer (Emory School of Law), Jim Pfander (Northwestern Law School), Martin Redish (Northwestern Law School), and Louise Weinberg (University of Texas School of Law).


Workshop Agenda


Drafts of papers will be distributed to participants prior to the workshop, which begins with dinner on Thursday, October 7. On Friday, October 8, 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.  


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 2011-2012 academic year are also welcome.  There is no registration fee for this workshop.


Meals and Accommodations

The University of Illinois College of Law is pleased to provide all the attendees with meals while attending the workshop. Additionally, the College of Law has arranged for the Club Quarters to provide a block of rooms for workshop attendees at a discounted rate.  Please see the workshop website listed below for more information. 

Registration and Abstract Submissions

Those who plan to attend the workshop are asked to fill out the workshop?s online registration form, which is located at http://www.law.uiuc.edu/faculty-admin/federal-court-workshop.asp no later than July 31, 2010.

Persons wishing to present a paper may upload an abstract to the workshop?s online registration page, or e-mail it to Jamelle C. Sharpe at jcsharpe@illinois.edu.  All abstracts must be submitted by June 30, 2010.  A committee of past participants will select papers no later than July 15, 2010.
