Come join us in Williamsburg, Virginia at the William and Mary Law School for the 21st edition of the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference. The Conference is unique, because its express purpose is to bring property legal scholars and property law practitioners together to discuss, what else, property and property rights law.
Yes, there’s a healthy dose of theory and academics, but also the real-world perspectives of practicing lawyers who bring the cases that put theory into practice. (New to this event and want a preview? Here’s our write-up of the 2024 Conference.)
