Call for Papers

The Law and Society RIW offers scholars who engage with law an opportunity to discuss and test their work among themselves and with leading professors in the field. We locate law in neither a single field nor a single geography, and therefore welcome students from across schools, programs, and geographic focuses in an effort to facilitate a multi-dimensional understanding of law and its relationship to societies. Previous topics have included the relationship between law and culture, politics, and economics. We look forward to a year filled with new and exciting scholarship.

To that end, we are accepting graduate student paper abstracts of no more than 200 words for discussion on any topic relating to the intersection of law and society.

Please either submit these proposals to AllieGo@umich.edu or fill out the form below.
