I am looking forward to welcoming many of you to Knoxville for the National Business Law Scholars Conference on June 15th and 16th! We have a great group already registered for the conference. The papers being presented span a wide range of interesting business law topics, as has been the custom.
Several folks indicated they were a bit jammed for time to make the April 7 deadline for submissions. After consulting with our master scheduler, Eric Chaffee, we have determined to leave submissions open until April 28th. We are in the process of changing the conference website to update the submission deadline, but the submission link (which generates an email to Eric) is still open.
In the coming weeks, the conference website will be updated to include information on lodging (we have arrangements with several local hotels) and transportation. In addition to Knoxville’s local airport, McGee-Tyson (TYS), flights are available to a number of local airports (Nashville, Chattanooga, and Tri-Cities) at which one can rent a car and from which one can drive to Knoxville. The State of Tennessee is beautiful and fun. I would be delighted to offer touring advice to anyone who would like to take some vacation time around the conference.
With the extended submission date, we hope that a few more of you will be in a position to submit work to present at the conference. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or Eric for any desired guidance in that regard, especially if you have never submitted to the conference before. We are happy to help.
