The Jewish Law Association in conjunction with the Yale University Program in Judaic Studies will hold the 17th International conference of the JLA at Yale Law School July 30-August 2, 2012.
The general call for papers deadline was Jan. 31, 2012, but there is a separate call for papers for students and emerging scholars. That submission deadline is March 31, 2012.
The Jewish Law Association is now accepting applications from graduate students, law students, and other emerging scholars, to participate on a plenary panel.
The goal of the panel is to recognize and encourage the next generation of scholars and teachers of Jewish Law. The panel will include presentations by emerging scholars, including graduate students in law and other disciplines, who will outline their research agendas and career aspirations in Jewish Law and Jewish Legal Studies. In addition to presenting their research at a major conference, these emerging scholars will benefit from suggestions by senior scholars on the panel and comments from the audience. The conference schedule will also include opportunities for informal discussions with scholars and teachers of Jewish Law.
Please submit a statement of interest, including a brief biography and research agenda, along with a current CV, to Larry Rabinovich, treasurer of the Association, lrabinovich@hblaw.com. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2012. mw
Limited financial scholarships will be available for accepted applicants.
