[EL] AALS Section on Election Law Call for Papers

[Josh Douglas]

The AALS Section on Election Law is is seeking abstracts or drafts of
papers to be presented at the 2016 Annual Meeting in New York, NY.  This
year's program is entitled:  *Election Law at the Local Level*.

Here the program description:

Although national election controversies grab the headlines, decisions made
at the local level impact our elections in important ways – and even
contribute to those national issues.  Local and state actors play a
front-line role in administering elections for all levels of government.
This panel will focus on how local jurisdictions handle important issues
such as ballot access, voting rights, early voting, Election Day processes,
and post-election disputes.  Panelists will explain how these issues relate
to the smooth running of the election, and how they might impact the 2016
presidential election season.  One panelist will be chosen from a Call for
Papers.


Confirmed panelists include Jocelyn Benson (Wayne State), Rich Ford
(Stanford), David Schleicher (Yale), and Trey Greyson (former Kentucky
Secretary of State).  We are looking for one additional panelist to join
this distinguished group.


The program will take place on *Friday, January 8, 2016 from 10:30 am-12:15
pm*.


Please submit an abstract or draft paper to Section Chair Josh Douglas at
joshuadouglas at uky.edu.  The deadline is *August 15, 2015*.
