Private Law Theory Discussion Group workshop - March 7, 2025
Dear
Colleagues,
I am
writing to invite you to the 2025 iteration of the Yale-Toronto Private Law
Theory Discussion Group, which will be held online (via Zoom) on March 7,
2025 from 1-4:30pm EST.
The
Private Law Theory Discussion Group is a joint initiative between the Center
for Private Law at Yale Law School and the University of Toronto Faculty of
Law. The workshop aims to provide a forum for established and early-career
scholars to present their in-progress work in private law theory to an audience
of students and faculty. The Discussion Group has a broad understanding of
private law and theory. Papers have focussed on doctrinal issues with a
theoretical overlay or more abstract issues related to private law.
This
year's event will feature presentations from a stellar lineup of speakers and
commentators:
1:00-2:00pm: Erik Encarnacion (UT Austin Law) on anti-discrimination law and contract; with a comment by Anthony Sangiuliano (University of Toronto Faculty of Law)
2:15-3:15pm: Helen Scott (Oxford Law) on restitution and unjust enrichment; with a comment by Maytal Gilboa (Western Law)
3:30-4:30pm: Benjamin Zipursky (Fordham Law) on moral luck, Bernard Williams, and the law; with a comment by Gregory Antill (Columbia Law)
More
information is available here: https://law.yale.edu/yls-today/yale-law-school-events/yale-toronto-private-law-theory-discussion-group-annual-workshop.
The
papers and Zoom link will be distributed at least a week before the event.
Anyone is welcome to attend, including (and especially) individuals not
affiliated with the Yale Law School or the University of Toronto Faculty of
Law. If you are interested in attending, please reply to me at amit.singh@yale.edu or my colleague
Faisal at f.bhabha@mail.utoronto.ca so
that we can add you to the distribution list for the paper and Zoom link.
Special
thanks to Professors Daniel Markovits (Yale) and Larissa Katz (Toronto) for
their continued support of this initiative, which is now in its fifth
iteration.
Best
wishes,
Amit
Singh (on behalf of Faisal, Arthur, and Amit)
