The 2021 Scholarship Conference will be held virtually on Friday, September 24 and Saturday, September 25, 2021.
CSLSA is an organization of law schools dedicated to providing a forum for conversation and collaboration among law school academics. The CSLSA Annual Conference is an opportunity for legal scholars, including more junior scholars, to present working papers or finished articles in a relaxed and supportive setting where scholars from various disciplines are available to comment. Many scholars will appreciate the opportunity to test new ideas in a less formal setting than is generally available for their work. The interchange with scholars in other subject areas is a key benefit of the CSLSA format. Scholars from member and nonmember schools are invited to attend.
We invite law faculty to submit proposals to present papers or works in progress. Abstracts, partial drafts, and full drafts will be considered. Submissions will be considered beginning on June 15, 2021, and may be submitted here. The submission period will close on August 7, 2021. Conference registration will open on our website in July.
We look forward to seeing you in Topeka!
Ideas come in many shapes and stages, so presentations are welcome whether just an early-stage idea or a completed draft
Come visit Topeka, the capital city of Kansas! Topeka, founded in 1854 as one of the anti-slavery “Free-State” towns in Kansas, is well known for the landmark Supreme Court civil rights case exactly 100 years thereafter. The CSLSA conference will feature an event at the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka historic site. Topeka also has a beautiful capitol building, a revitalizing downtown area, and a funky arts scene north of the Kansas River.
At the CSLSA conference, faculty from across the country and around the world come together to collaborate and forge lasting connections
