New Voices in Civil Justice Workshop

Vanderbilt Law School's Branstetter Litigation & Dispute Resolution Program will hold its 2017 New Voices in Civil Justice Scholarship Workshop May 10, 2017 at Vanderbilt Law School.

The Branstetter Program draws on a multimillion-dollar endowment to support research and curriculum in civil litigation and dispute resolution. Held annually, the Branstetter New Voices Workshop brings together junior scholars, senior scholars, and Vanderbilt faculty in the areas of civil justice.

Each year, junior scholars are selected via a blind review process to present at the New Voices Workshop. Past participants are listed below by year.

The New Voices format maximizes collegial interaction and feedback. Paper authors do not deliver prepared "presentations." Rather, all participants read the selected papers prior to the session, and at each workshop, a senior faculty member provides a brief overview and commentary on the paper. Open and interactive discussion immediately follows.
