Spearheaded by CELS 2020 co-presidents Andrew Green, Anthony Niblett, and Albert Yoon, the University of Toronto Faculty of Law and the Society for Empirical Legal Studies (SELS) are pleased to announce the 15th Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies (CELS) on October 2-3, 2020, in Toronto, ON, Canada.
Paper Submission Deadline: June 5, 2020 (midnight, Eastern Time).
To submit a paper, please go to the 2020 CELS website (click here) .
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. 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 Submitted papers must be unpublished (and expected to be unpublished at the time of the conference).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.
We are of course monitoring the progress of the COVID-19 pandemic. At this point we are hopeful the conference will proceed as planned. If the SELS Board deems it necessary to change our plans, we will let you know as soon as possible.
If you have additional questions about the submissions process, please contact [email protected]
There is no charge for paper submissions.
