The Third Annual Meeting of The Society For Environmental Law and Economics
June 1 and 2, 2012, Indiana University Maurer School of Law, Bloomington, Indiana
The fourth annual meeting of the Society for Environmental Law and Economics will be held on June 1 and 2, 2012, at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law in Bloomington, Indiana. The meeting is co-sponsored by the law school and the I.U. School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
OVERVIEW: The Society for Environmental Law and Economics (SELE) is, as the name implies, a truly interdisciplinary organization bringing together legal scholars, economists, and other social scientists to address important environmental issues that inevitably cut across artificial disciplinary boundaries. At the 2012 meeting, we hope to build upon the great success of past meetings, and continue the work of building a community of scholars interested in working in the intersection of law, economics, and environmental or natural resource issues. This year's conference will include a presentation by 2009 Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom.
In the spirit of collegiality, the meeting will take place in a workshop format, with all sessions plenary and plenty of time for discussion. We strongly encourage all attendees to attend all presentations.
Our goal is to create a program that includes a variety of disciplinary perspectives. No funding will be available for travel or lodging expenses, but the co-sponsors will provide two conference lunches and one conference dinner. For further information about the conference program and other matters, contact Daniel Cole, Professor of Law and of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, at: dancole@indiana.edu
PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Please email a Word or PDF file, with "SELE Submission" in the subject line, to: Daniel H. Cole: dancole@indiana.edu
Submissions should be received by December 15, 2011. Responses will go out by February 1, 2012. Preference will be given to submissions of full drafts of papers, but incomplete submissions will also be considered. The organizers are unlikely to accept either law-based papers without substantial economic content or implications, or economics papers without legal substance or implications for legal relationships or analysis.
