The Central States Law Schools Association 2024 Scholarship Conference will be held on Friday, September 6 and Saturday, September 7, 2024, at the Texas Tech University School of Law in Lubbock, Texas.
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, especially more junior scholars, to present working papers or finished articles in a relaxed and supportive setting where junior and senior scholars from various disciplines are available to comment. Additionally, scholars will have an opportunity to test new ideas in a less formal setting than is generally available for their work. Scholars from member and nonmember schools are invited to attend.
We invite law faculty to submit proposals to present papers or works in progress. Papers on all law-related topics are welcome, whether proposed as abstracts, partial drafts, or full drafts. The registration/submission portal is open now, and the submission period will close on August 15, 2024. We look forward to seeing you in Lubbock!
Ideas come in many shapes and stages, so presentations are welcome whether just an early-stage idea or a completed draft
