To encourage and recognize excellent legal scholarship and to broaden participation by new law teachers in the Annual Meeting program, the Association sponsored its twenty-sixth annual Call for Scholarly Papers. The AALS Scholarly Papers competition is open to full-time law faculty who have been in law teaching for 5 or fewer years on July 1, 2011, and who hold a full time faculty appointment at an AALS member or fee-paid school. The winners, who will present and discuss their papers, were selected out of record breaking 116 submissions by a panel of 10 distinguished law scholars. AALS congratulates the winner and honorable mentions!
