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 ************************************************ All the best, Melissa L.
