Book Manuscript Workshops
The Baldy Center for Law & Social Policy organizes intensive workshops
focused on books about law or legal institutions, or any aspect of
law and social policy authored by a UB faculty member. These workshops
are designed to be stimulating interdisciplinary discussions that will
provide helpful feedback to authors of a draft book manuscript. A small
group of interested faculty, including one or two outside specialists,
will read several chapters and discuss the manuscript with the author.
If you are interested in attending the workshops
please contact Ellen Kausner at the Baldy Center for Law & Social
Policy, 511 O'Brian Hall, University at Buffalo Law School,
645-2102; baldyctr@buffalo.edu.
The Center will forward copies of the book manuscript to all participants.
If you are completing a book manuscript and are interested in receiving
feedback on it, please contact Lynn Mather by phone 645-5541 or e-mail
