Subject: ODG: The Philosophical Foundations of Property Law (May 2012)

 Dear Colleagues:
 
Many of you will find this of interest: 
 
UCL Faculty of Laws is pleased to announce
The Society of Legal Scholars 2012 Annual Seminar
organised by 
Professor James Penner (UCL)
&
Professor Henry Smith (Harvard)

The Philosophical Foundations
of Property Law

Friday 11 & 12 May 2012
at the UCL Faculty of Laws

This conference is accredited with 12 CPD hours by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board . Our course provider reference for the SRA is IU/UCL.
About the conference:
The philosophical consideration of property concepts has long featured in political and moral philosophy, but there has been a relative absence of serious philosophical attention paid to the various doctrines that shape the actual law of property, a situation in marked contrast to the rich philosophical literatures which attend to specific features of the law of contract or the law of torts. The papers in this seminar are a first step towards filling this gap in the philosophical analysis of private law.

See the full programme, biographies and abstracts of the cases to be discussed at:

A paper bank of the conference papers will also be available to delegates from the conference website.
