The AALS Family Law Scholars and Teachers Conference has hosts a conference June 22, 2015, in Orlando, Florida—the day of the AALS workshop’s opening reception.
[T]he main purpose of the meeting is to allow family law scholars to receive detailed, constructive feedback on their work in a supportive, collegial environment. In addition, the meeting is a forum to meet others in the field and talk about teaching, service, developments in the law, and other relevant themes raised by participants. Scholars present their work—either in its very initial form (an incubator session) or in its more developed form (a work-in-progress session)—in intimate groups. We have a very strong norm that participants carefully read drafts of the papers in advance of the sessions, and there are no formal presentations. Many of us feel that this has been a very meaningful conference that significantly contributed to our development as scholars and teachers.
Attendance is limited to 45 participants selected on a first-come-first-served basis. Registration and submission will be via TWEN beginning February 2015. For now, if you would like to receive announcements about the conference, please sign in to the TWEN page. To do that, go to “Add Courses” and select “Family Law Scholars and Teachers 2015 Conference.”
