Ninth International Junior Faculty Forum
\nCall for Papers<\/p>\n
Sponsored by Stanford Law School and the University of Pennsylvania Law School, the International Junior Faculty Forum (IJFF) was established to stimulate the exchange of ideas and research among younger legal scholars from around the world. We live today in a global community\u2013 in particular, a global legal community. The IJFF is designed to foster transnational legal scholarship that surmounts barriers of time, space, legal traditions and cultures, and to create an engaged global community of scholars. The Ninth IJFF will be held at the University of Pennsylvania Law School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in late September or early October 2016 (the exact date has not yet been fixed).<\/p>\n
Papers may be on any legally relevant subject and can make use of any relevant approach: they can be quantitative or qualitative, sociological, anthropological, historical, or economic. The host institutions are committed to intellectual, methodological, and regional diversity, and welcome papers from junior scholars from all parts of the world. Please note, however, that already published papers are not eligible for consideration. We particularly welcome work that is interdisciplinary.<\/p>\n
Those who would like to participate in the IJFF must first submit an abstract of the proposed paper. Abstracts should be no more than two (2) pages long and must be in English. The abstract should provide a roadmap of your paper\u2014it should tell us what you plan to do, lay out the major argument of the paper, say something about the methodology, and indicate the paper\u2019s contribution to scholarship. The due date for abstracts is Friday, January 15, 2016, although earlier submissions are welcome.Please submit the abstract electronically to both Karyn Koos,\u00a0kkoos@law.stanford.edu<\/a>, and Debbie Rech,\u00a0debrech@law.upenn.edu<\/a>, with the subject line, International Junior Faculty Forum. The abstract should contain the author\u2019s name, home institution, and the title of the proposed paper. Please also send a current CV.<\/strong><\/p>\n After the abstracts have been reviewed, we will invite, no later than mid-February, a number of junior scholars to submit full papers of no more than 15,000 words, electronically, in English, by May 1, 2016. Please include a word count for final papers. There is no fixed number of papers to be invited, but in the past years up to 50 invitations have been issued from among a much larger number of abstracts.<\/p>\n An international committee of legal scholars will review the papers and select approximately ten\u00a0papers for full presentation at the conference, where two senior scholars will comment on each paper.\u00a0After the remarks of the commentators, all of the participants, junior and senior alike, will have a\u00a0chance to join in the discussion. One of the most valuable\u2014and enjoyable\u2014aspects of the Forum, in\u00a0the opinion of many participants, has been the chance to meet junior and senior scholars, and to talk\u00a0about your work and theirs.<\/p>\n Stanford and Penn will cover expenses of travel, including airfare, lodging, and food, for each participant. Questions should be directed to Karyn Koos\u00a0(kkoos@law.stanford.edu<\/a>) and Debbie Rech\u00a0(debrech@law.upenn.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n Professor Lawrence M.
