Members of the Washington University community interested in attending WERL should contact the organizer. In Spring 2007, WERL is being organized by Professor Margo Schlanger ( email ). The seminar will be held weekly at a time and place to be announced (mostly Wednesdays or Thursdays at 3pm).

The reading materials and agenda items for the weekly WERL meetings are posted here. Many of the PDF files are encrypted due to copyright restrictions, and are thus only available to WERL participants.
