Call for Papers: ILE/Penn Law Junior Faculty Business and Financial Law Workshop

Institute for Law & Economics
University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School

THIRD ANNUAL JUNIOR FACULTY
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL LAW WORKSHOP

 

CALL FOR PAPERS

            The Institute for Law & Economics (ILE) at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School is pleased to announce its second annual Junior Faculty Business and Financial Law Workshop.  The Workshop will be held in person on November 22, 2024 at Penn Carey Law.

            The Workshop supports and recognizes the work of untenured legal scholars in the business and financial fields, including accounting, banking, bankruptcy, corporations, economics, finance, tax and securities, while promoting interactions with such scholars, selected tenured faculty and practitioners.  By providing a forum for the exchange of creative ideas in these areas, ILE also aims to encourage new and innovative scholarship in the business and financial arena.

            Approximately 6-8 papers will be chosen from those submitted for presentation at the Workshop.  One or more senior scholars and practitioners will comment on each paper, followed by a general discussion of each paper among all participants.  The Workshop audience will include invited untenured scholars, faculty from Penn Carey Law, The Wharton School, and other institutions, practitioners, and invited guests.

            We welcome submissions from scholars within the U.S. and abroad who hold a full-time tenure-track academic appointment but have not yet received tenure as of the submission date. Scholars who do not yet hold a full-time tenure-track academic appointment such as PhD or doctoral candidates, or visiting or academic fellows without a full-time tenure-track academic appointment are not eligible for consideration. Co-authored submissions are welcome so long as each of the authors individually meet the submission criteria. Work that is published or is expected to be published by the date of the Workshop is not eligible for submission. However, submissions may include work that has been accepted for publication so long as such work is still capable of incorporating substantive edits. ILE will cover reasonable travel, hotel, and meal expenses of all presenters.

            Those interested in presenting a paper at the Workshop should submit through this website: https://www.law.upenn.edu/live/forms/76-call-for-papers-junior-faculty-business-amp on or before September 6, 2024. Submissions may be in the form of an abstract, summary, or draft.  Please submit using the following format for your file name – author’s Last name.First name.Title (ex. Smith.Jane.BusinessLawPaper).
