SUMMARY:4th Annual Midwest Family Law Consortium
DESCRIPTION:
 Family Law in the 21st Century\n
 The first decade 
 of the 21st century has been an exciting time 
 for family law scholars, teachers, and practitioners. 
 Family law is more dynamic than 
 ever, with changing social definitions of family 
 and greater use of science and technology 
 to create families. Themes that have emerged 
 during this time likely will inform family law 
 reforms in the coming decades. The Midwest 
 Family Law Consortium seeks papers that explore 
 these issues and other hot topics for the 
 4th annual conference, which will be held June 
 16 and 17, 2011, at Michigan State University 
 College of Law.\n
 \n
 While papers that address 
 cutting-edge themes in family law are encouraged, 
 all paper and panel proposals are welcomed. 
 In addition, professors who wish to discuss 
 techniques and insights concerning family 
 law education are welcome to submit proposals 
 for a teaching panel or panels.\n
 \n
 Interested 
 persons should submit a one-page proposal 
 with the name, title, and institutional affiliation 
 of the presenter(s) and a brief summary 
 of the proposed presentation to Cynthia 
 Lee Starnes, the Lizzie J. McSweeney Professor 
 of Family Law at MSU College of Law, at starnesc@law.msu.edu. 
 Proposals submitted before 
 January 31, 2011, will be given priority consideration.\n
 \n
 The 
 conference will begin with 
 an opening reception and dinner on Thursday, 
 June 16, 2011. Conference sessions will be held 
 on Friday, June 17, and will conclude by 
 5:00 p.m.\n
 \n
