Relevant empirical, institutional and theoretical research will be considered. The conference will be held on July 16-17, 2007, at the UCLA School of Law in Los Angeles, California.

Interested authors may submit either (i) a draft working paper, if available, or (ii) an abstract of the paper along with a brief but detailed description of the project. Submissions should be made by January 8, 2007.
