Third Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies – Update

The Organizing Committee has begun reviewing papers submitted for the September 12-13, 2008 Conference on Empirical Legal Studies to be held at Cornell Law School  in Ithaca, NY.  In light of a number of requests for extensions and mindful of a deadline that falls near the end of a semester, the CELS Organizing Committee will continue to accept papers for consideration for the conference for a limited period after the April 15 deadline. Papers submitted after April 15 will be considered for inclusion in the conference subject to the availability of space. We expect a hard cutoff date of May 16.

Authors who have already submitted papers may use the SSRN system to submit a revised version. Peer reviewers will consider whichever version is available at the time they undertake their peer reviews.

Here are links to information about the Call for Papers and the Conference.
