Thought I'd share a few points related to the AALS conference coming up in January in New Orleans. 

First, PrawfsBlawg, along with our mates over at Concurring Opinions (and other blawgs), will be hosting a happy hour for all prawfs attending the conference. (Not yet sure if our generous friends from Indiana will be footing the bill again, but if you think your school would be interested in doing so in whole or in part, please contact me asap!) The date and time, as mentioned earlier, will be Thursday January 7th at 9pm until about midnight. The place will be announced shortly, though it's likely it will be the Whiskey Blue bar at the W hotel. Watch this space for more complete information, including things such as drink specials...

Second, among others, a few of us from the Prawfs and Co-Op alumni will be presenting at the Fed-Soc shadow conference at AALS. You can find out more information here.  It will take place Friday Jan 8th at the Wyndham Riverfront New Orleans.

Finally, as some of you know via FB, I'll be on appointments at Florida State this coming spring and, unlike so many other schools, we're fortunate to be in a position where we can hire a substantial number of people across a wide variety of areas. If you're already a prawf, whether junior or senior, and think you or someone else you know would be interested in FSU's quite extraordinary scholarly culture and good weather, among other things, please feel free to send Jim Rossi (and/or me) a cv/statement of interest soon especially if you think you will be attending AALS in NOLA. Of course, if you're not planning on going to NOLA, we'd still welcome expressions of interest.  (Yes, our committee at FSU goes January to January, though there is some continuity with previous committees. The 2010 committee includes Kelli Alces, Jim Rossi (Chair), Nat Stern, Tara Grove, Mark Seidenfeld, JB Ruhl, and myself.)
