REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OF SESSION TOPICS 
2025 Partners for Justice Conference 
Wednesday, May 21, 2025

Use this form to submit a session topic. The form provides the opportunity to draft a short, one-paragraph description of the panel topic to be included in the Conference program, and space to informally explain why you think a session on that topic would be relevant to the mid-Atlantic legal services community.

By submitting a session topic proposal, you are agreeing to coordinate the panel. This includes:

  • Being the main point of contact for the panel to the Conference Planning Committee and Coordinator;
  • Submitting the required materials by their respective deadlines; and
  • Meeting with your panel to plan the presentation.

Propose 2 or 3 panelists and 1 moderator (no exceptions), and include their organizations and locations. Keep diversity in mind across the board. Please, no more than one representative from a particular program/organization per panel.

The deadline for proposals has been extended to FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2024. We will notify you by January if your topic is selected.
