2026 Sirico Scholarly Writing Conference participants.

UND School of Law Professor Kimberly Dasse recently participated in the Sirico Conference, an immersive professional development experience dedicated to scholarly writing and academic publishing.

The conference brought together legal scholars to strengthen their research and writing through collaborative workshops, mentorship, and guided drafting sessions. Participants explored the scholarly publication process, discussed strategies for developing long-term research agendas, and worked on their own academic articles while receiving thoughtful feedback from experienced scholars and colleagues.

For Professor Dasse, the conference provided an invaluable opportunity to engage deeply with the craft of academic writing while refining her scholarship in a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment.

Hosted on the picturesque campus of St. John’s University, the conference offered an inspiring setting for reflection and collaboration. Rolling hills, vibrant gardens, and a glistening lake created a peaceful backdrop that complemented the thoughtful discussions and scholarly work taking place throughout the weekend, highlighting the important connection between intellectual pursuits and spaces that foster creativity and contemplation.

Professor Dasse extends her sincere appreciation to the Sirico Conference organizers for their commitment to supporting emerging scholars and advancing legal scholarship. Special thanks go to Brian Larson for his exceptional leadership, organization, and stewardship, which helped make the conference a meaningful and rewarding experience for all who attended.
