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 the Baldy Center office by phone at 645-2102 or by email 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 Laura Wirth by email at Lawirth2@buffalo.edu or by phone at 645-2581.
