2007 Labor/Emp Works-In-Progress Conf: Denver/Boulder!

It's only been two months since a raucous time was had by all at the First Annual Colloquium on Current Scholarship in Labor & Employment Law here at Marquette -- the conference that came about from some us us grumbling, here on Prawfs, "why aren't there more of these conferences" -- and already the planning for the Second Annual is well underway!  Marty Katz (U. Denver Law) tells me that next year's will be on September 27-29, 2007, split in some manner between U. Denver and U. Colorado -- both of which have shiny new buildings that I look forward to seeing.

If you'd like to be kept in the loop as further details emerge (e.g.: more scheduling info; registration procedures/deadlines), email Marty that you want to be one of his spam-ees.

For those of you not among the 50+ at this past October's event, this conference is a great way (1) to get feedback on your recent scholarship or work in progress (even if it's not written yet -- most folks' works in progress weren't) from a good number of profs who all specialize in labor/employment law, (2) to see a wide variety of emerging scholarship in the field (we had about 50 papers split into three parallel tracks), and (3) to get together with a decent proportion of  those writing in labor/employment law (the 50 or so in attendance must be a decent fraction of the total body of law profs writing in the field, no?).  This past year we accommodated everyone who wanted to present, though that can't be a firm promise for this coming year (after the number of presenters reaches the mid-50s, it gets hard to schedule any more!).
