SEALS Annual Conference

Below is a link to a draft of the 2018 SEALS Program: http://sealslawschools.org/submissions/program/programwp.asp VERY IMPORTANT: this is a tentative draft and the content may (and likely will) change. Please do NOT rely on dates and times.  However, if you have comments on the program, please send them now or forever hold your peace! We will do our best to accommodate concerns.  However, there are a LOT of moving parts and there are limits to my ability to move things around. Russell L.

The SEALS Works-in-Progress Series Committee is seeking submissions for its 2018 workshop, which will be held as part of SEALS 2018 Annual Meeting. All are eligible to participate. The Annual Meeting will be held from August 5-11, 2018, at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort and Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Works-in-Progress Series (two-hour sessions) is designed for intermediate and senior scholars who are further along in their scholarship and development than new scholars. The primary focus of this program is to bring scholars in specialized fields of study together to present and discuss full drafts, works in progress, and developing ideas. The program differs from the SEALS discussion group format in that it brings together smaller groups of scholars

The Southeastern Association of Law Schools(SEALS) is pleased to host the sixth annual “New Voices in Labor and Employment Law” program during the 2018 SEALS Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As we did last year, we also include “Established Voices in Labor and Employment Law.” This works-in-progress program is intended to give junior or established scholars feedback on papers from othet established scholars before the upcoming submission cycle. We are seeking submissions from labor and employment law scholars with five or fewer years of full-time teaching experience (not counting the 2017-18 academic year) and will also consider drafts from established labor and employment scholars regardless of experience. Submissions should be drafts of papers relating to labor and employment law

Come take a break tonight, Friday, at 8:00 PM and join us for a special event: a sing-along of Hamilton the Musical taking place in Room Royal Palm IV. Included will be karaoke-style singing along with the soundtrack of the hit Broadway sensation that celebrates the “founding father without a father.” Bring your best Broadway voice, your friends, and your favorite refreshments (so you can raise a glass to freedom, of course). And most importantly, do not throw away your shot to sing Hamilton tonight!
