SUBMISSION PROCEDURES: 

LOG-IN:  Each meeting participant must create a Log-In account (or be Logged-In by a session organizer) to the Submission Site. This is a one-time procedure that establishes a log-in account for future returns to the site and covers any and all participations in the meeting program.  Do not create a second log-in account.

HOW TO LOG IN:  At the submission site, click on "Create a New Account".  Fill out the contact information.  Click on "Accept and Continue."

Important:  Use an email address that will not need to be changed before the meeting.

Upon logging in for the first time, you will receive an immediate automated acknowledgment email, sent to the email address you entered.  SAVE THAT EMAIL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE; IT WILL CONTAIN YOUR LOG-IN IDENTITY.   Contact the LSA Executive Office…  rose@lawandsociety.org   …if you do not receive an acknowledgement of your log-in.
