of the various speakers. A symposium is organized and submitted by a chairperson

A workshop is an intensive educational session presented by an individual
or team of persons to an audience for a three to six hour period. The
audience is expected to gain skills or knowledge that can be applied upon
return to research or service sites. This is accomplished by extensive
audience involvement and participation to maximize individual attention.
Your proposal should indicate the knowledge level necessary for participants
(i.e., Introductory, Intermediate or Advanced). It is assumed that workshop
presenters will compose appropriate handouts to reduce note-taking requirements
and encourage subsequent application of skills. Cal-ABA will duplicate
a reasonable quantity of handouts for all workshops when given sufficient
notification.

Paper sessions are individual oral presentations, usually concerned with
conceptual, historical, or methodological issues. Paper presentations
may report empirical research if it is too complex for effective presentation
in a poster (e.g. an integrated series of experiments). All addresses
should be 25 minutes in duration. The Program Committee will organize
several related addresses into sessions of 50 minutes. The Program Committee
reserves the right to assign any author of a paper address organized in
a symposium as a chair of the symposium.

Posters consist of physical displays of information, usually reporting
empirical research. Each presenter will be required to provide his/her
own easel on which to display the poster. The poster is a visual representation
by an individual or team of persons and consists primarily of data-oriented
information. Presenters will have 15 minutes prior to the session to set
up the poster and arrange materials. At the end of the session, all materials
must be removed within 15 minutes.
All submissions must be received by 5 PM, October 31, 2003 to be considered for the Cal-ABA 2004 Annual Conference.
Due to budget constraints,
Cal-ABA can only offer the use of the A.V. equipment listed on the attached
forms. Any additional A.V. equipment will need to be secured by the presenter.
