Deadline:  December 10, 2007

The Law and Political Process Study Group has been sponsoring and co-sponsoring panels at the APSA for over twenty years.  The group concerns itself with legal and policy questions related to elections and politics, and with empirical questions germane to the legal and policy questions.  Our panels are interdisciplinary, with participation by political scientists, law professors, and sometimes academics in other disciplines and lawyers, government officials, and activists.  Typical subjects for papers and roundtables include campaign finance, redistricting, voting rights, election administration, rights and regulation of political parties, ballot initiatives, bribery and corruption, and legislative lobbying and ethics. 

Paper proposals should be sent to Daniel Lowenstein, UCLA Law School, lowenstein@law.ucla.edu, and Bruce Cain, UC Berkeley, bruce@cain.berkeley.edu.
