The fifth annual Conglomerate Junior Scholars Workshop is
underway and open to all untenured scholars in the general area of business
law. During the virtual workshop,
the Conglomerate will link to your paper and provide a forum for you to receive
feedback on your paper before you publish it or present it at a conference,
workshop or job talk. According
to the announcement:
We strongly prefer articles that have not been accepted for
publication but may also consider accepted articles if the paper has not begun
the editing process. We know that many new faculty members do not have the opportunity
to present papers at national conferences and find it challenging to get others
in their field to read their work. Hopefully, this workshop will facilitate
that process.
I’ve participated as a discussant for this forum in the past
(commenting
on Miriam Baer’s Insuring
Corporate Crime) and very much enjoyed it. Christine and the other Glommers always do a great job
selecting the papers and soliciting commentary. Junior folks in the field should definitely consider
participating in the event as a means to get both some feedback and some
publicity for works in progress.
The full announcement is here.
Email Christine Hurt (achurt@illinois.edu)
with any questions, or with an abstract of your article and your completed
draft by June 26, 2010. No submission will be accepted on the basis of an
abstract without a draft.
