A couple of special features of the conference are publication of abstracts of all papers presented at the conference in our quarterly, academic journal the Michigan Academician. Also, two awards are offered for outstanding papers: the Cohn Prize in Law and Public Policy, and the Ronald O. Kapp Undergraduate Award.
