I know that our readers range far and wide across the globe, but for those readers plugging away in some sort of full-time, untenured capacity at Big 10 law schools, I hope you received an email invitation yesterday to the Fourth Annual Big 10 Aspiring Scholars Conference to be held August 2-4, 2009 at the University of Illinois College of Law. This conference has been hosted in previous years by our friends down the highway, Indiana University -- Bloomington, but for this summer only, we're all meeting at Chambana! Here is the announcement:
Plan to join your fellow Big Ten Conference colleagues…
