The conference is unique, in that it bring together senior and junior scholars who are working in any aspect of contract law and practice.  Papers that examine contracts from any perspective are welcome.  Proposals from junior scholars, those who work in non-law-school environments, and those whose work focuses on non-U.S. legal systems are especially encouraged.  The Conference web site, which includes the Call for Papers and registration and hotel information, is:
