There are three Calls for Papers for the January 2024 AALS Annual Meeting. They are listed below.
AALS Section on Constitutional Law Main Program Call for Papers
The Section on Constitutional Law invites submissions for the Section’s Article V panel on amending the U.S. Constitution, to be held at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Association of the American Law Schools (AALS), on January 3-6, 2024, in Washington, D.C.
Entitled “Reviving Article V: A Structural Approach to Defending Democracy,” this panel is the Section’s primary program. Panelists will discuss the constitutional amendment process in the United States, with a focus on whether Article V remains relevant today in our constitutional structure despite its prolonged disuse.
AALS Section on Constitutional Law Pedagogy Program Call for Papers
The Section on Constitutional Law invites submissions for the Section’s Pedagogy Program on stare decisis, to be held at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Association of the American Law Schools (AALS), on January 3-6, 2024, in Washington, D.C.
Entitled “Teaching Stare Decisis – From the Warren Court (and Before) to the Roberts Court (and Beyond),” this program seeks to present a robust discussion on stare decisis. The panel’s mandate is broad and seeks to discuss history, precedent, and the decisional process relating to stare decisis.
AALS Section on Constitutional Law Works-in-Progress Call for Papers
The Section on Constitutional Law invites submissions for the Section’s Works-in- Progress program to be held at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Association of the American Law Schools (AALS), on January 3-6, 2024, in Washington, D.C.
This year’s program, entitled “The Many Voices of Constitutional Law,” provides a platform for scholars to discuss works at any stage in the writing process. There is no specific topic or focus area for the works-in-progress panel. Rather, scholars who seek critical feedback for a new or ongoing project are encouraged to apply. Priority will be given to newer scholars – those with less than 7 years of experience in the academy.
Eligibility
All full-time faculty at AALS member law schools, including fellows and VAPs, are eligible for consideration. The Section especially encourages submissions from pre-tenure, clinical, and tenured faculty members who diversify the legal academy through demographic, geographic, viewpoint, seniority, and school type.
Submissions
Interested faculty should submit an abstract no longer than 500 words to the Section Chair, Professor Meg Penrose, at [email protected] no later than 5:00 p.m. CST on Friday, August 25, 2023. As appropriate, please indicate “Article V Submission – 2024 AALS Annual Meeting” , "Stare Decisis Submission - 2024 AALS Annual Meeting", or "Works-in-Progress - 2024 AALS Annual Meeting" both in the subject line of your email and at the top of your abstract.
Abstracts should include your name and institutional affiliation, and may be supplemented by a statement expressing how your participation will diversify the panel discussion.
Publication
The Section will not publish selected papers. Panelists are encouraged to seek publication through other avenues.
Questions
All questions should be directed to the Section Chair.
Decisional Process
Panelists will be selected by members of the Executive Committee using a blind selection process. However, the Section reserves the right to balance its panels, if necessary, to comply with the AALS principles of diversity. The Section is committed to adhering to all AALS policies in the selection process.
Selected panelists will be notified by late September. If selected, panelists are responsible for the costs incurred in participating in the panel, including registration fees for the AALS Annual Meeting in addition to accommodation and travel expenses.
