The Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University invites scholars, practitioners, innovators and others committed to understanding and remedying institutional corruption to submit proposals. The application deadline for fellowships and projects to begin Sept. 2012 is Feb. 1, 2012.
The Lab would be particularly enthusiastic to receive proposals on topics of institutional corruption in media and think tanks, or from professionals working in those fields. Priority will be given to project proposals with a focus on innovative remedies for institutional corruption.

We at the Legal Scholarship Blog routinely look for information about conferences. When we are sent information to post, we try to link to the sponsoring organization’s website and give you ways to find more information.
While trying to track down information related to one conference notice, I found a warning that some email invitations to conferences (including the one I had in front of me) are scams from made-up organizations. The notice is from the Union of International Associations (a legitimate organization listed in UNESCO’s database of NGOs).
An increasing number of email scams are using NGOs, International NGOs, development agencies, meetings, international conferences etc as the hook to defraud or cheat unsuspecting recipients.Always use caution when responding to or acting on unsolicited bulk email or paper mail.
The Union of International Associations is monitoring these fraudulent announcements and has a list posted on its site. Many of the organizations and conference titles—climate change, human trafficking, HIV/AIDS, and so on—sound very good, but the notices are fraudulent nonetheless. Read email critically. mw

If you find this blog useful, tell your friends and colleagues about it. They might find it helpful too.
Does your law school have research centers that put on conferences? Tell them to send us their announcements.
How about law journals that are planning symposiums? Tell them, too!
Thanks!

The good news is that there is a lot going on in the legal academy. The bad news is that this site can be overwhelming to busy academics who just want to find what’s relevant to them.
One answer? Use our categories.
When we post events and calls for papers, we tag them with one or more of the categories listed in the sidebar. That means that when you visit the site, you can look for just the events in certain subject areas, whether Business Law, Human Rights Law, or Law and Gender. Or you can look just at the listings of Colloquia/Workshops or just Calls for Papers.
If you use a feed reader (also known as RSS reader or aggregator), you can subscribe to the feed for selected categories. Our tech team set this up in response to a professor’s suggestion — he liked the site but found it overwhelming to get announcements about conferences that weren’t in his area. Now he can follow his topics (environmental law and administrative law) and you can follow yours, whatever they are.

This blog offers many ways to search and navigate. One tool is the calendar. If you want to see what conferences are happening this week — even if they were announced months ago — just click on the date in the calendar. You can also use the calendar to keep an eye upcoming deadlines for calls for papers.
And you can use it for longer-range planning, too. Are you planning a conference or symposium of your own? Start by seeing what else has already been announced for the dates you’re considering. Are you starting to map out a sabbatical? See whether there are interesting conferences to attend.

We know that many of you find the Legal Scholarship Blog useful. You’re busy people, and you wouldn’t waste precious time visiting the site (or subscribing via email or RSS feed) if you didn’t.
We’d like to remind you that you can help make this blog even more useful to you and others like you.
- If you are organizing an event, please send us an announcement or — even better — a link to a web page with information.
- If you are participating in an event that hasn’t been listed yet, send us a link.
- If your friends and colleagues are organizing events, remind them to write to us.
- If a journal at your school is organizing a symposium or putting out a call for papers, remind the editors to write to us.
The blog is a cooperative venture between the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and the Gallagher Law Library of the University of Washington School of Law. But the cooperation is much wider than just us — the blog benefits every time anyone sends us an item to post.
Oh, and where do you send things? legalscholarshipblog [at] gmail.com.

We Legal Scholarship Blog editors keep our eyes out, but there’s a lot happening in the world of legal scholarship and we don’t always find out about conferences and other events as soon as we’d like. You can help by sending us announcements or links to information about upcoming events.
If you are organizing a conference, let us know. If you’ve even heard of a conference that we don’t already have listed, let us know. If the student journal editors at your school are planning a symposium, encourage them to send us an announcement.
Thanks to all of you who have already sent calls for papers, announcements of conference, and colloquium schedules. Keep ‘em coming!
– Mary Whisner, UW
