The AALS Section on Securities Regulation invites submissions from junior scholars (defined as those who have been in a tenure-track position for 7 or fewer years) for its Emerging Voices session at the 2023 AALS annual meeting. The session will be held in-person on Saturday, January 7 from 3:00 – 4:40 p.m (PST). The session brings together junior and senior securities regulation scholars for the purpose of providing junior scholars feedback on their scholarship and helping them prepare their work for submission for publication. Junior scholars’ presentations of their drafts will be followed by comments from senior scholars and further audience discussion.

If you would like to present your draft as a junior scholar, by August 31, 2022, please send your draft to Professor Benjamin Edwards (Benjamin.Edwards@unlv.edu). We welcome submissions at any stage of development, although preference may be given to more fully developed papers over abstracts and paper proposals. The authors of the selected papers will be notified by mid-September 2022. 

If you would like to volunteer to provide feedback as a more senior scholar, please let Professor Edwards know, at Benjamin.Edwards@unlv.edu, by August 31, 2022. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
