Berkeley Law issues a call for papers for its fourth bienneial poverty law conference, “Poverty Law? Where We Go From Here,” on Apr. 10-11, 2020, at UC Berkeley School of Law, Berkeley, CA. Deadline for submissions is Oct. 18, 2019. 

This conference will focus on the evolving nature of our collective obligation to each other, on changes to national, state, and local antipoverty programs, and on the future of poverty law as a field. This conference is a gathering for all those whose work focuses on the relationship between law and socio-economic marginality, broadly construed.

There are three main tracks to the conference:

  1. The History and/or Future of Antipoverty Efforts and Programs
  2. Antipoverty Teaching, Service, and Research
  3. General Poverty Law (subject matter not limited)

If you would like to present, please submit a title and abstract by Oct. 18, 2019 to erosser@wcl.american.edu.

Please note: there is no conference registration fee, but presenters are responsible for their own travel and lodging expenses. We look forward to seeing you in April 2020!
