HI there -

This just made my day for a number of reasons! 

1) I was supposed to be presenting my current work-in-progress TODAY in Ohio, but I had to cancel my trip for health-related reasons.
2) I just finished reading a 1999 law review article a few minutes ago, which inspired me to tailor my current work-in-progress through more of a family/child law lens.

I will submit my abstract soon.  My only question is whether I am "junior" enough- I still feel that I am junior at times, even though I have been teaching 10 years and am recently tenured.  I have published already, but I always feel that feedback is immensely helpful.

Thanks for any guidance, Melissa

Dear Section Members,

W&L is holding a small junior scholars works in progress conference this summer in Lexington, Virginia.  I attach the call for papers.  If you are a junior scholar, please consider sending us an abstract.  If you are more senior, please encourage your junior colleagues to apply.  The atmosphere will be supportive and encouraging and we hope the comments received on the papers will be helpful and constructive.  Feel free to circulate the attachment widely and to let me know if you have any questions.
