Workshop Question
Hello all! I recently got my paper accepted into a workshop where I will be grilled by established legal scholars in the field I am writing. I am a junior practicing attorney with no institutional affiliation and beyond a grad student conference I did during my masters, have no experience with this kind of thing.
It’s a full day, and there are 8 presenters, including myself.
Roughly how long of a presentation should I have prepared. I expect (and hope) it is a brief presentation and mostly Q&A. Will most scholars in attendance have read my manuscript, and do they typically read it in full/depth? What should my presentations goal be? To introduce the concept at a high level? To articulate its novelty/contribution? To frame the discussion around the questions and problems that I am most stuck on right now?
Sorry if these are very elementary questions, I just don’t know what to expect.

I hate to see A+P give Carlson his flowers when he is one of the most disingenuous grifters in the space.
This guy got fired from Fox because it got revealed in court he was knowingly lying for years, about Trump, the election being stolen, etc., saying “He’s only good at destroying”, “There really isn’t an upside to Trump.”, “He’s a demonic force, a destroyer.” See https://apnews.com/article/tucker-carlson-fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trump-5d6aed4bc7eb1f7a01702ebea86f37a1
The point is not “Trump bad” it’s that Tucker was clearly in private correspondence hating Trump and his election lies back in 2020, fully aware of how destructive and deceptive Trump was, and went on his show defending those same lies, and still campaigned for the guy in 2024. He maliciously lies for power, influence, and money, and I get the point of “I can disagree with the person but like something they said” but for me, it’s that Carlson is so hollow and grifter-ey that it feels wrong to give him his flowers when if he thought it would benefit him, he’d be putting out the exact opposite message.
Alright, rant over
