The AALS Sections on Education Law and Children and the Law invite submissions for a Works-in-Progress (WIP) session to be held September 20-21, 2024, in New Orleans, LA at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. The purpose of the session is to provide a collegial and supportive environment for advancing scholarship and promoting cross-fertilization among scholars working in related areas of the law. We invite contributions from all legal scholars writing on issues of education law and/or children's law. Topics may include any area relating to children and the law, PreK-12 education, or higher education law. Paper proposals may be at any stage in the research and writing process, from early works in progress to quasi-completed articles, as long as changes can still be made to the articles prior to publication. We invite a diverse range of proposals and especially encourage new and pre-tenure faculty to participate.
To submit your work in progress for consideration, please send the title and a brief abstract (up to 500 words) of your work in progress, along with your name and contact information (including institutional affiliation) using the form here by July 15, 2024. If you have any difficulties using the form, you can also submit the information above to Nicole Tuchinda at [email protected]. Members of the leadership of both sections will review proposals. For submissions received by July 15, we will notify presenters by late July. We encourage earlier submissions to facilitate making travel arrangements.
The WIP session will begin on Friday, September 20 at 1 p.m., and it will end on Saturday, September 21 by 1 p.m. In late August, we will ask participants to submit any additional documents that they would like reviewers to see, such as a draft of their article.
There is no registration fee to attend the WIP session, but participants, including presenters, must pay their own travel expenses. Loyola has secured a discounted hotel rate at the Hampton Inn New Orleans – St. Charles Ave. for this event.
