From Prof J.S. Nelson (Pitt Law):
================
Dear Faculty Lounge readers,
This is a call to participate in Law & Society CRN 46's programming. CRN 46 broadly covers Corporate and Securities Law in Society.
The 2025 Law & Society Association (LSA) Annual Meeting is scheduled for Chicago, Illinois, USA from May 22-25, 2025. The meeting will be hosted at the Hyatt Regency. This year’s sessions will take place in-person.
If you are a member of our CRN and on our CRN email list, we will send you several reminders of deadlines as they approach from our CRN's email list. Of course, if you would like to be removed from these emails at any point, simply let us know.
If you have been forwarded this message, are not on our direct CRN 46 mailing list and want to be, please fill out your information here.
Meanwhile, the 2025 LSA Call-for-Participation submission window is now open.
The deadline for our Call for Submissions is October 15, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. ET (USA and Canada).
There are three types of sessions: (1) Paper Presentations; (2) Author-Meets-Reader Sessions; and (3) Roundtable Sessions. Please note that you are limited to participating only once at LSA as a paper presenter, book author, or roundtable participant (full rules here).
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. J.S. happens to be organizing both our LSA CRN and the ComplianceNet2025 conference in NYC that will be held the end of the same week as LSA so that international scholars can travel easily from one conference to another. If you are writing, please include "LSA CRN 46" in the title of your email.
We look forward to seeing you next summer!
Best,
J.S. and Geeyoung
Paper Presentations
If you would like to present a paper (either completed or in progress) as part of one of our CRN’s paper sessions, please:
(1) By October 15, 2024 at the very latest, submit your paper title and abstract directly to LSA via this link.
- Choose "Individual Paper” in the "Submission Type" drop down menu.
- Paste your abstract in the "Proposal" portion of the submission form. Your abstract must be under 2000 characters.
-
[VERY IMPORTANT] Select CRN 46 where prompted.
(2) Also by October 15, 2024, please send an email to [email protected] or [email protected] with your paper title and abstract, notifying us that you have submitted your paper directly to LSA. This will help us track your submission and make sure we can find your paper if it doesn’t appear on the list of CRN 46 papers provided by LSA.
(3) Please only submit a paper if you plan to the conference. When paper authors drop out post-submission, it can put the entire panel at risk of cancellation.
Chair/Discussant Once we have a list of paper presentations associated with CRN 46, we will organize those presentations into paper sessions. Each paper session will need a Chair and a Discussant (who can be the same person). If you would be willing to serve in one or both of those roles, please let us know by October 15, 2024.
Author-Meets-Reader Sessions
If you have a book (excepting edited volumes or textbooks) that has been, or will be, published in 2024, please consider whether you’d like to arrange an “Author-Meets-Reader” Session around your book! Here is how LSA describes AMR Sessions:
“An Author-Meets-Reader (AMR) is a session in which discussion is focused on one to three recently published scholarly books. The session must include the author(s) of the book, three designated “readers” per book (as applicable) who provide comments, and a session chair (who may be one of the readers). AMR panels are limited to books published in the year prior to the LSA Annual Meeting. For the 2025 Meeting, the books must have a publication date in 2024.”
If you are interested in organizing an AMR Session, please contact us by October 1, 2024, and we will work together to submit an AMR Session as part of the CRN.
Roundtable Sessions
If you would like to propose a theme for a Roundtable Session, please contact us by October 1, 2024, and we will work together to submit a Roundtable Session as part of the CRN. Here is how LSA describes Roundtable Sessions:
“A Roundtable is a discussion-centered session that is organized around a common theme and does not have papers presented. Roundtables are the most flexible format offered at the meeting. Participants might organize debates, visual and musical performances, workshops, films, and other innovative formats.”
