Legal Commentary

The Charleston School of Law is pleased to host the third annual Southeastern Law Scholars Conference on September 21-22, 2012.  This regional conference will bring together junior law school faculty to present published papers or works-in-progress across all disciplines within the law.  The conference is open to all junior law faculty (one to seven years teaching experience) at law schools in the United States.  To ensure an atmosphere conducive to feedback, space is limited to twenty participants. 

The conference will begin with a reception for all participants on Friday, September 21, 2012.  On Saturday, September 22, 2012, conference participants will present either a completed paper or work-in-progress, and comment on the papers and ideas presented by others.  As the host school, the Charleston School of Law will provide breakfast and lunch on Saturday, September 22.  There is no registration fee.  Participants, however, are responsible for their own travel expenses.
