The Conference Committee is particularly interested in receiving proposals in specialized contexts such as business, health care, insurance, entertainment, intellectual property, contruction, etc. Also of great interest are proposals in the areas of Practice Diversity and Development, Representing Clients in ADR, Government Public Policy, and Environment. Finally, interactive, skill-based workshops are being sought in the Family, Youth, and Community tracks, as well as others.

The ABA site for submitting proposals online is now closed, but it can still be done via email. Interested applicants should contact Nancy Highness at 206.399.1805 for further
