Call for Participation
We invite you to participate in the Third Annual Internet Law Work-in-Progress conference at Santa Clara University School of Law on March 16, 2013. The conference series is co-sponsored by the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University School of Law and the Institute for Information Law and Policy at the New York Law School. We take a broad view of the topics that fit under the Internet Law umbrella. The conference has three categories of participation:
* papers-in-progress. To present a paper-in-progress, the presenter must submit a feedback-ready draft of the paper no later than Feb. 28, 2013. Papers-in-progress will receive extra presentation time compared to projects-in-progress. If a presenter requests a paper-in-progress slot but fails to deliver the draft in time, the presentation will be converted to a project-in-progress. If we have to prioritize presentation requests, we plan to give priority to papers earlier in the drafting process that will most benefit from peer feedback, i.e., (a) papers that have not been circulated to publication venues will get higher priority than (b) papers that have been circulated to publication venues but do not yet have a publication commitment, which will get higher priority than (c) papers that have been accepted for publication.
* projects-in-progress. This covers any academic project where the presenter doesn’t submit a reviewable draft by the deadline, ranging from nearly finished projects to half-baked ideas. These presentations receive less presentation time than papers-in-progress.
* discussant. Space permitting, we welcome other scholars to join the conversation as active audience participants.
