We are seeking contributors for chapters (including both Digest and Forms sections)
for the countries listed below, as well as
any other countries not already covered. In a few cases (see below),
we also need to find a new contributor to revise a previously-published digest, or to prepare a
forms section to accompany an already-published digest section. Chapter contributors
will have their name, affiliation, and contact information
prominently displayed on the front cover of the chapter (sample chapter covers).
This contact information will also be provided, along with a contributor bio, in the
CONTRIBUTOR DIRECTORY section of the treatise.
Please contact me if you are interested in preparing a chapter.
