Reminder: AALL/LexisNexis 2011 Call for Papers is Underway

Have you been thinking of writing an article of interest to law librarians?  Need a push to get started?  Well, here it is. The AALL/LexisNexis Call for Papers Committee is soliciting articles in three categories:

• Open Division: for active and retired AALL members and law librarians with five or more years of professional experience;
• New Members Division: for recent graduates and AALL members who have become law librarians since July 1, 2006.
• Student Division: Participants in this division need not be members of AALL. To be eligible in this category, you must have been enrolled in law school, or in a library school, information management, or an equivalent program, either in the Fall 2010 or Spring 2011 semester.

The winner in each division receives $750 generously donated by LexisNexis plus the opportunity to present the winning paper at a program during the AALL Annual Meeting in Philadelphia!  Winning papers are also considered for publication in Law Library Journal. 

Application form and details, including a list of past winners, can be found at the Call for Papers website

Selected winning papers from earlier competitions can also be found at http://works.bepress.com/aallcallforpapers. This list can give you an idea of the range of topics that law librarians have chosen. 

Deadline for Submissions:

• Articles in the Open and New Members Division must be submitted by March 1, 2011. 
• Articles in the Student Division must be submitted by April 15, 2011.
