This is a final reminder that the deadline to register as a presenter for the Eighth Annual AALS ADR Works-in-Progress conference is next Monday, October 6.  The Conference will take place in early November at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. The Conference will begin with a welcoming reception on Thursday evening, November 6, followed by a full day of presentations on Friday, November 7 and a half day of presentations on Saturday morning, November 8.

The WIP Conference provides a fine opportunity for junior and senior ADR scholars to workshop their current research – from ideas for future articles to full draft papers. It provides an excellent forum for exchanging ideas, developing new mentoring or collaborative relationships and reconnecting with colleagues.

To register as a presenter or attendee, or to get more information, please go to www.swlaw.edu/adrwip.  There is no registration fee; presenters and attendees are responsible for their own travel and lodging expenses.

Southwestern has reserved a block of hotel rooms for registered conference attendees at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel (506 S. Grand Ave. in downtown Los Angeles). The reduced conference rate is $159 per night, plus tax.   To book a room at this rate, call (800) 245-8673 and mention “Southwestern Law School ADR Conference, November 6-8.”  Please note that reservations at the conference rate will only be available until October 7, 2014, or when room block availability is exhausted, whichever occurs first.   Transportation to and from the Conference will be provided each day between Southwestern and the Biltmore.
