Dear BLPB Readers:

Below is information regarding the 2026 Midwest Academy of Legal Studies in Business (MALSB) Conference Call for Participation:

“MALSB invites you to join us for the annual conference in Chicago on March 25-27, 2026, and to share your scholarship, including: papers, abstracts, panel presentations, or other substantive presentations. Submissions to the MALSB/Legal Studies track must relate to business law, the legal environment of business or ethics, or the teaching of one of these topics. Program sessions provide an opportunity to present papers and learn from the scholarship of others in a collegial environment. The submission deadline is January 20, 2026.

MALSB encourages submission for its Master Teacher Competition, its Proceedings Awards, and its newly created Student Paper Competition. Submissions for these awards must comply with the requirements outlined below and final papers must be received by the submission deadline. Submissions will be evaluated for Awards and MALSB Proceedings, based upon a peer review process.

Abstracts, substantive presentations, and works in progress may be submitted. While a proposal may be accepted for presentation based upon an abstract or similar, all presenters must prepare and submit substantive materials by March 1, 2026. These substantive materials are required to support CLE credit.

MALSB also invites and strongly encourages participation as a peer reviewer for the Proceedings and Awards. If you are willing to assist with peer review, please email Proceedings Editor, Cara Putman (cputman@purdue.edu).”
