2014 AALS Conference Calls For Papers: A Complete CFP List

Updated below.

I keep seeing  announcement of various Association of American Law Schools sections calling for papers for panels at the 2014 meeting in New York City.  They're tacked up on different blogs right now and I thought it might be useful to have as comprehensive a list as possible in one place.  Is the list complete?  I'm not sure - but I'm optimistic that, by the time readers get to the comments, it will be.

This long list is the happy result of the AALS incentivizing sections to open up their panels using CFP's.  Kudos to the folks who pushed that new policy through.  One helpful hint, though: it would be nice if the AALS required earlier announcement dates so that non-insider faculty had a better shot of perparing a strong submission in time for the deadline.  And a caveat for readers: the AALS limits submissions to full-time faculty at AALS member schools.

Here's my initial shot at the list, in no particular order:

AALS Section on Defamation and Privacy: Children’s Privacy Rights Against their Parents (papers due August 15, 2013)

AALS Section on Internet and Computer Law: The Disruptive Rise of the Mobile Internet (papers due September 3, 2013)

AALS Section on Securities Law: Global Securities Fraud (papers due August 25, 2013)

AALS Sections on Financial Institutions & Consumer Financial Services and on European Law: Taking Stock of Post-Crisis Reforms: Local, Global, and Comparative Perspectives on Financial Security Regulation  (papers due September 3, 2013)

And separate from these Section calls for papers for the 2014 Conference, here are a few other things to consider in a similar vein.

I also received this call for papers for which I have no link:

AALS Section on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Issues:  Courting Justices: LGBT Law Advances in the Twenty-First Century.

In the past two decades, lawyers, activists, individuals and organizations have contributed to enormous changes in the legal landscape for LGBT people and their families. With pending Supreme Court decisions on Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act, and a wide variety of issues related to adoption, immigration, and inheritance for LGBT families coming to a head, the Section on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Issues of the AALS is seeking scholars interested in presenting papers or works in progress at the annual meeting in New York, NY. Our hope is that this panel will place the experiences, stories, and scholarship of gay and lesbian persons and their families at the center of the discussion of twenty-first century legal developments in immigration, family law, and criminal law. The program, entitled, “Courting Justices: LGBT Law Advances in the Twenty-First Century” is designed to encompass a wide variety of emerging issues that are important to LGBT individuals and their families. Scholars interested in presenting papers or works in progress should send abstracts to [email protected] by August 10, 2013.
