From an email that I received earlier today:
The Younger Comparativists Committee of the American Society of
Comparative Law is pleased to invite submissions for its second annual
conference, to be held on April 18-19, 2013, at the Indiana University
Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis, Indiana. The purpose of
the conference is to highlight, develop, and promote the scholarship of new and
younger comparativists.
Submissions will be accepted on any subject in public or private
comparative law from scholars who have been engaged as law teachers, lecturers,
fellows, or another academic capacity for no more than ten years as of June 30,
2013. We will also accept submissions from graduate students enrolled in
master’s or doctoral programs.
Scholars may make individual or co-authored submissions. The
conference’s Program Committee will assign individual and co-authored
submissions to thematic panels according to subject area. Proposals for fully
formed panels will also be accepted.
To submit an entry, scholars should email an attachment in
Microsoft Word or PDF containing an abstract of no more than 750 words no later
than November 4, 2012, to the following address: yccsubmissions@gmail.com. Abstracts should reflect original research that will not yet have been published, though
may have been accepted for publication, by the time of the conference.
Abstracts should also include the author’s name, title of the paper,
institutional affiliation, contact information, as well as the author’s
certification that she/he qualifies as a younger scholar. Graduate students
should identify themselves as such.
Panels will be announced no later than December 16, 2012. There
is no cost to register for the conference but participants are responsible for
securing their own funding for travel, lodging and other incidental expenses.
The Younger Comparativists Committee gratefully acknowledges the
support of the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of
Law. The Younger Comparativists Committee also extends special thanks to
Shawn Boyne and Mohamed Arafa for co-chairing the Program Committee.

Younger Comparativists Committee of the American Society of Comparative Law, by
