The call for papers for the 2007 American Society for Legal History meeting is out. This meeting is the place to go for serious, substantive comments on historical work related to law. It should be on the agenda of folks in history and political science who don't necessarily think of themselves as "legal historians," and is an especially essential stop for graduate students in history, political science and law-related fields doing historical work related to law.
The deadline is February 1, 2007.

Individual papers submissions should consist of an abstract, a draft paper (where possible), and a c.v.
Those who presented at the 2006 conference are welcome to submit papers and/or proposals for the 2007 conference. Although the committee will strive to include papers from those who have not presented recently, there will be no rule against presenting in consecutive years.
