Web Site Currently Under Construction The 2005 AP-LS Conference will be held March 3-6 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in La Jolla, California. Proposals for symposia, papers, and posters addressing topics in all areas of psychology and law are invited. We especially welcome proposals that are empirically-based and describe (a) innovative applications of psychology to law, or (b) collaborative efforts between researchers and practitioners. International submissions are welcome, and papers authored or co-authored by students are encouraged. A symposium proposal is appropriate for a coordinated group of presentations focused on a single topic. Each participant and the topics to be discussed should be outlined in the proposal. The participation of each participant should be secured before submitting the proposal. (Each symposium will be allotted 80 minutes at the conference.) Paper proposals are appropriate for presentation of an individual research project or piece of legal scholarship. After acceptance/rejection of proposals has been determined, the conference co-chairs will group paper presentations into sessions consisting of 3-5 presentations. (Each paper session will be allotted 50 minutes at the conference. The amount of time allotted for each presentation will be determined by the number of presentations in the session.) Poster presentations will be made at one of the poster sessions (to be held on Friday evening). Presentations will be made in a written form on display boards measuring 4 ft. X 6 ft. The poster session will be allotted 90 minutes. Paper/poster proposals are limited to a 200-word abstract and a 1500-word description of the material to be presented. Each symposium submission should include a 200-word abstract describing the overall aims of the symposium. In addition, each paper included in the symposium should be summarized in 1000 words, and must include an abstract that is no longer than 100 words. A minimum of 4 papers must be submitted with each symposium. All proposals should be submitted electronically via this website. The link will be available on Friday, September 24th. The deadline for submission of all proposals is October 1, 2004. If you have any questions or comments about the conference, please contact one of the conference co-chairs. Conference Co-Chairs:
