Conference Advice

There is lots of advice about how to conference out there. Here’s my collection:

• An old but still relevant PrawfsBlawg post on how to navigate the Law and Society Association (LSA) annual conference.
• Jerry Ratcliffe’s advice on presenting at the annual conference for the American Society of Criminology is here. (I’d only disagree with the no-equation advice if you’re doing something really sophisticated and you need the model, but more often, you should save it for when you present at the Conference for Empirical Legal Studies (CELS). I’d also add: motivate your study–don’t assume it’s obviously important. Tell me what we know and what we don’t know and why we need to know what we don’t know.)
• Here is my conference advice for grad students, covering both professional advice and mental and physical health advice.
• Networking advice, or advice for being appropriately social at conferences when socially awkward and anxious, can be found here.
• What does a chair do? What does a discussant do? What should I do if I’m a chair or discussant? Find out here.
