The 2025 Election Law Conference at Florida State University

election law biz

This weekend, FSU will host the 2025 Election Law Conference. Jacob Eisler is the organizer, and I am serving as an informal advisor. This conference is a sequel to last year’s Election Law Conference at Washington University in St. Louis, which primarily featured the work of junior scholars. My hope is that our field will have an annual conference going forward and that it will continue to grow over time.
