In order to foster the next generation of legal scholars and to recognize outstanding legal scholarship, AALS is sponsoring a call for papers for the 32nd annual AALS Scholarly Papers Competition. Full-time law teachers at an AALS member or fee-paid school for five years or less on July 1, 2016, are invited to submit a paper on a topic related to or concerning law. A committee of established scholars will review the submitted papers with the authors’ identities concealed. Papers that make a substantial contribution to legal literature will be selected for presentation at the AALS Annual Meeting in San Francisco in January 2017. To be considered for the competition, an electronic version of the manuscript should be emailed to [email protected] no later than August 5, 2016, 11:59 p.m., Eastern.
