The Communication Law and Policy division only accepts full papers (circa 25 pages, and no longer than 9,000 words), interactive poster proposals, panel and roundtable proposals, and for the Extended Session short position papers or extended abstracts (circa, two pages - see below). Papers can utilize any accepted citation style including MLA, APA, and "Bluebook" legal citation and should adhere to the guidelines in ICA's general call for papers, including no identifying information about the author and no previously published submissions. Student papers must be identified as such to be considered for the top student paper award. Panel and roundtable proposals should include a detailed abstract describing the topic and the role of each participant and also adhere to ICA's panel submission guidelines carefully. This year for the first time we are also inviting short position papers or extended abstracts of around two pages specifically for the purpose of the two and a half hour Extended Session. We propose to devote this to a roundtable discussion - with 10- 15 panelists - on the theme of "Media, Markets and Democracy", to continue the Division's interest in developing scholarship building on the work done by the late C. Edwin Baker. We propose to award the C. Edwin Baker Award, inaugurated by our Division and the Philosophy of Communication Division at last year's Boston Conference at the end of this session. Applicants should indicate that their paper is intended for this session (even though this is the only possibility for short papers).
