The in-person conference is open exclusively to job market candidates for the 2026 job market.

Applicants should put their full name in the subject heading of the email.   The letter of support should be emailed separately to that address and should endorse the applicant’s decision to be on the job market in 2026, with the subject heading including the full name of the applicant.    Fiona Cunningham, University of Pennsylvania Iza Ding, Northwestern University Taylor Fravel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Melanie Manion, Duke University Yuhua Wang, Harvard University

We mourn the passing of Marc Galanter on April 14, a pioneering scholar whose work helped reshape the study of Law and Society. Galanter drew on his sustained engagement with India to question taken-for-granted Euro-American understandings of law. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
