Announcement & Call for Papers: Civil Procedure Workshop (Northwestern Law School, May 19-20, 2023)

Here is the announcement and call for papers for the 2023 Civil Procedure Workshop, courtesy of Zach Clopton:

We are excited to announce that the next Civil Procedure Workshop will be hosted by Northwestern Pritzker School of Law in downtown Chicago on May 19-20, 2023.

The CPW gives both emerging and established civil procedure scholars an opportunity to gather with colleagues and present their work to an expert audience. Scholars will present their papers in plenary and breakout sessions. Senior scholars will moderate the plenary sessions and lead the commentary. In addition to paper presentations, we intend to engage members of the judiciary in discussions about current developments in procedure. Our ongoing goal is for the CPW to strengthen the study of procedure as an academic discipline, and to deepen ties among the academy, rulemakers, and the judiciary.

We welcome all civil procedure scholars to attend. Those wishing to present a paper for discussion should submit a two-page abstract by January 20, 2023. While we welcome papers from both emerging and senior scholars, preference may be given to those who have been teaching for less than ten years. Please submit your abstract using this form.

The CPW will provide meals for registrants. Participants must cover travel and lodging costs. We will provide information about reasonably priced hotels as the date approaches. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Professor Zachary Clopton (Northwestern) at [email protected] or at [email protected].
