This workshop is devoted to learning about, discussing, and critically evaluating new scholarly work on law and politics. A series of outside speakers, drawn from both law schools and political science departments, will present recent or forthcoming papers on election law and/or American politics. In the session before each outside speaker visits, we will read and talk about related work that helps us to assess the speaker’s contribution. Students will have the option of writing either a number of response papers or a single research paper.
