The 2011 Central States Law School Association (CSLSA) Annual Conference will be held Oct. 28-29, 2011, at the University of Toledo College of Law. Abstracts are due by Sept. 30, 2011.
The purpose of CSLSA is to foster scholarly exchanges among law faculty across legal disciplines. The annual CSLSA conference is a forum for legal scholars, especially more junior scholars, to present working papers or finished articles on any law-related topic in a relaxed and supportive setting where junior and senior scholars from various disciplines are available to comment. More mature scholars have an opportunity to test new ideas in a less formal setting than is generally available for their work.
Although CSLSA is a regional association, faculty from around the U.S. are encouraged to participate. nh
