Next week, power adapters and internet connectivity permitting, we'll be blogging from the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference at the Tsinghua University School of Law in Beijing, People's Republic of China.
Admin note: We've added "Brigham-Kanner Conference" as a separate category to catalog the posts related to the Conference. In order to read all of the posts under this topic, go here.
A property rights conference in the PRC? Should be interesting.
Here's the agenda and the list of sessions.
The honoree this year is Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. The speakers include the past winners of the B-K prize, Frank Michelman, Richard Epstein, James Ely, Margaret Jane Radin, Robert Ellickson, Richard Pipes, and Carol Rose. In addition to these luminaries in the property law and property rights field, the speakers include the top property law scholars and practitioners in the U.S. (Alan Ackerman, Andy Brigham, Jim Burling, David Callies, Leslie Fields, Mark (Thor) Hearne, Patty Salkin, and Joe Waldo, to name a few), and many scholars of Chinese property law from our host country. See the complete list here.
We'd add our usual "hope to see you there" (and we do), but if you haven't already made your flight reservation and secured your visa, it's probably too late to sign up now (trust us, we spent the day in a five-hour line at the Chinese Consulate to secure ours).
But if you won't be attending in person, it just means you'll have to tune in here next week and follow along. We'll try and bring you as much of it as we can.
