Burling to Receive William & Mary Law School’s 2022 Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize

Some good news: our Pacific Legal Foundation colleague Jim Burling is slated to receive the 2022 Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize in September.

Check out the media release, with more details:

James Burling, Vice President of Legal Affairs at Pacific Legal Foundation, will receive the 2022 Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize at William & Mary Law School’s 19th annual Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference on September 29-30 sponsored by the William & Mary Property Rights Project.

The Property Rights Project presents the award each year to an individual whose scholarly work and accomplishments affirm that property rights are fundamental to protecting individual and civil rights.

“James Burling is among the foremost students of the relationship between citizens and their government in contemporary America,” said Steven J. Eagle, Professor Emeritus of Law at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School and the 2019 Brigham-Kanner Prize winner.

Congratulations, Mr. Burling.

Please mark your calendars for September 29-30, 2022, when we will all return to Williamsburg and the law school for the 19th annual Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference. In addition to the award of the B-K Prize, there's a full day of programming -- which is, in our opinion, the best one-day law conference on dirt law, where the leaders in the academy and the practicing bar get together and address the most compelling topics. See you there!
