I want to remind readers that the deadline for proposal for the 2015 American Society for Legal History (ASLH) annual meeting is fast approaching. Cribbing from the CFP:
The 2015 annual meeting of the American Society for Legal History (ASLH) will take place in Washington, DC, October 29 – Nov 1, 2015. The Program Committee invites proposals on any facet or period of legal history, anywhere in the world. We also encourage thematic proposals that range across traditional chronological or geographical fields. In selecting presenters, preference will be given to those who did not present at the 2014 annual meeting.
Travel grants (covering airfare and ground transportation) will be available for presenters in need, who must first seek support from their home institution. These resources are limited, and priority will be given to presenters traveling from abroad, graduate students, post-docs, and independent scholars.
The Program Committee welcomes proposals for both full panels and individual papers, though please note that individual papers are less likely to be accepted. The Committee encourages the submission of a variety of different types of panel proposals, including: traditional 3-paper panels (with a separate chair-commentator); incomplete panels lacking either one paper or a chair-commentator (whether 2-paper panels with a chair-commentator, or 3-paper panels without a chair-commentator), which the Committee will try to complete; author-meets-reader panels; and roundtable discussions. ...
The deadline for submitting proposals is March 15, 2015. Proposals should be sent as email attachments to [email protected]. Substantive questions should also be directed to the Program Committee co-chairs, Martha Jones and Charlotte Walker-Said, at[email protected]. Those unable to send proposals as email attachments may mail hard copies to: 2015 ASLH Program Committee, c/o Charlotte Walker-Said, John Jay College-CUNY, 524 W. 59th St. New York, NY, 10019.
More details are available on the ASLH website. On a personal note: I haven't been to ASLH in some years, in part because I've had family obligations and in part because the end of October/beginning of November is a hard time of year for me to get away from school. But I hope to make it back this year. I'm guessing I'll feel a little like Rip Van Winkle, given how many different directions legal history scholarship is moving. At any rate, this is a great conference and I highly recommend it, especially for newer scholars.
