This week is what we call Brigham-Kanner week here at William and Mary Law School. The week culminates in the Thursday presentation of the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize to lawprof Greg Alexander, followed on Friday by the Conference presentations (see below).
And earlier in the week, we’re having a series of law student-oriented programs, featuring sessions on “Careers in Dirt Law,” “Comparative Property Rights” (feat. Toronto expropriation lawyer Shane Rayman), and “Property Rights Practice Perspective” (feat. several young lawyers — including W&M Law alums — who are now practicing eminent domain and takings law).
Here’s the full B-K Conference program.
The Friday program includes some very intriguing topics:
- Property and Propriety (or the Well-Ordered Society): A Tribute to Gregory S. Alexander
- Equity’s Role in Defining Property Rights*
- Emerging Issues Roundtable
- The Restatement’s Impact on Property Rights
- The Scalability of Property Rights – the Extent to Which Interests in Property Are or Should be Constitutionally Protected
* we’re speaking at this session along with Prof. Henry Smith (Harvard), Prof. Samuel Bray (Notre Dame), and Timothy Sandefur (Goldwater Institute).
