William & Mary Law School, host of the annual Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference, has announced that Columbia Law School Professor Thomas W. Merrill will receive the 2013 B-K Prize at the conference (October 17-18, 2013, Williamsburg, Virginia). The photo above is of the plaque on the wall at the William & Mary Law School listing B-K Prize winners.
The Conference agenda and speakers have yet to be finalized, but here’s the tentative list of topics:
- The Impact of a Leading Property Scholar: Defining the Essence of Property
- Promoting Government Forbearance
- The Implications of the Court’s Recent Takings Cases
- Property Rights in Times of Transition
We spoke at the 2012 Conference in Williamsburg, and attended the 2011 Conference in Beijing. The 2013 lineup sounds pretty good, so mark your calendars.
