Annual Meetings
One of the key goals of the Canadian Law & Society Association is to provide venues for the exchange of ideas and the promotion of socio-legal scholarship. To that end, the CLSA holds its annual meeting and conference in the late spring or early summer each year. Sometimes the conference forms part of the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences and Humanities. On other years, the CLSA will host or co-host its own meeting such as the 2005 "Law's Empire " Conference in Harrison Hot Springs, BC or the 2008 joint meeting with the Law & Society Association in Montreal.
 | The 2010 annual meeting of the CLSA will take place at Concordia University in Montreal June 2-4, 2010. The deadline for the call for papers is January 29, 2010. The preliminary program will be available here in March. A message for graduate students: Plans are underway for a day of workshops for graduate students registered for the CLSA conference, to be held at McGill University on June 1, 2010. There MAY be funding available to students who attend the workshops. However, please note that such funding has not yet been secured. We will provide further deatils when the arrangements with McGill have been confirmed. In the mean time, if you think yoiu might attend, you may wish to hold off booking your accommodation and travel until details about the workshop have been confirmed. The 2009 annual meeting of the CLSA took place at Carleton University May 23-25, 2009 as part of the Congress of Social Sciences & Humanities. Graduate student members who participated in the annual meeting are eligible to receive a travel grant. The 2009 Graduate Student Workshop was generously funded by the Law Foundation of Ontario. It featured sessions on conference presentations, the "job talk" and publishing. Note that CLSA members receive a discounted registration rate. You can join or renew your membership online.
