The University of Michigan Law School and the Society for Empirical Legal Studies (SELS), co-hosts of the 13th Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies (CELS) on November 9-10, 2018, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, are pleased to announce that the deadline for paper submissions has been extended until June 29, 2018 (midnight, Eastern Time).
CELS is a highly regarded interdisciplinary gathering that draws researchers from across the United States and the world, bringing together scholars in law, economics, political science, psychology, policy analysis, and other fields who are interested in the empirical analysis of law and legal institutions. Papers are selected through a peer review process and discussion at the conference includes assigned commentators and audience questions.
CELS will consider empirical papers spanning all areas of empirical legal studies, including areas of newer or evolving interest, such as replication studies. Authors are encouraged to submit works-in-progress; however, submissions should be completed drafts that include principal results. Submitted papers must be unpublished (and expected to be unpublished at the time of the conference). If accepted, authors will have an opportunity to submit a revised draft prior to the conference for presentation and discussion. Please note that accepted papers will be made available to all conference participants.
The conference will include a poster session that features not only traditional-style posters presenting original research but also a "book nook" in which authors or editors of recently published (or forthcoming) volumes may exhibit their work and its primary findings. Book authors or editors who are interested in the "book nook" should contact the organizers at: [email protected]
To submit a paper, please go to the CELS 2018 Conference page on SSRN -- https://hq.ssrn.com/conference=CELS-2018 (or here). (Do not use the regular SSRN submission site.)
