Call for Papers: ASIL Dispute Resolution Interest Group Workshop

The Dispute Resolution Interest Group of the American Society of International Law has issued a call for papers for its inaugural works-in-progress workshop, to take place at the University of Colorado, August 15, 2014. Here's the call:

The Dispute Resolution Interest Group (DRIG) of the American Society of International Law (ASIL) is co-sponsoring its first scholarly works-in-progress conference with the University of Colorado Law School on Friday, August 15, 2014. The event will take place at the law school, located in Boulder, CO. The workshop seeks to highlight currents works-in-progress by a diverse group of scholars writing about international dispute resolution in the areas of international courts and tribunals, international arbitration, international mediation, international negotiation, peacekeeping, peace building, and related topics. The workshop will be a daylong event with an informal conference dinner the evening before.

To have a work-in-progress considered for presentation, please send a short abstract to DRIG Co-Chairs Christina Hioureas (CHioureas@chadbourne.com) and Anna Spain (anna.spain@colorado.edu) by Monday, June 16, 2014. Please also include a sentence about the stage the paper is expected to be in by August (e.g., reasonably complete draft, incomplete draft, etc.). Paper presenters will be asked to circulate their drafts to workshop attendees no later than August 1, 2014.

Those interested in serving as a commentator for a paper should also send an email to the DRIG co-chairs by June 16. Commentators will be asked to prepare five to eight minutes of comments on one of the papers.
