Overview

The University of Kansas School of Law will host the 15th Annual Junior Faculty Federal Courts Workshop on Friday, April 24, 2026. The workshop pairs a senior scholar with a panel of junior scholars presenting works in progress. Each panel will consist of three to four junior scholars, with a senior scholar commenting on the papers and leading a group discussion.

Attendance is open to untenured and recently tenured academics who teach and write in the areas of federal courts, civil rights litigation, civil procedure, constitutional law, and other related topics.
