DRAFT SCHEDULE FOR THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE

REGISTRATION AND FEES
If you plan to attend but have not already registered online, please do so.
The website for registration is: http://www.regonline.com/15thannualmeetingLCH
No credit card payments can be accepted at the conference, and we charge $10 more for on-site registrations. Our all-volunteer organizing committee greatly appreciates your taking the time to register on-line.
If you have registered but have not paid the conference fee, please pay your full fee now.
There is a sliding scale for the conference fee, which includes some conference meals and a reception, as well as a subscription to our journal, Law, Culture and Humanities. The charges are: $35 for graduate students; $85 for income less than $70,000; $115 for income of $70,000-$100,000; and $200 for income of over $100,000.
To pay your fee, visit: http://www.regonline.com/15thannualmeetingLCH.
Click on "register now."
When prompted, enter your email and password.
Then click on "edit conference registration."
Select the appropriate income category to complete your registration (the $35 fee you already paid is deducted from the total due) and click "continue."
The system will ask whether you would like to contribute to the graduate student travel fund. This fund will be used next year to provide travel funds for graduate students traveling to our conference in England. If you have already contributed, your prior contribution will be reflected on the screen, but you will not be charged again. We appreciate your generosity.
After entering any amount you would like to contribute to the graduate student travel fund, click "continue."
You will then be able to pay the balance due with a major credit card.
