Dear Colleagues,

Submissions for the Yale-Toronto-Columbia Private Law Theory Discussion Group’s annual workshop will be accepted until Friday, October 30, 2026, at 11:59pm ET. If you have junior scholars in your midst (defined to include pre-tenure faculty, postdocs and other fellows, graduate students in law and cognate disciplines, and JD/LLB students) who might be interested in workshopping their works in progress, we would appreciate your sharing the attached Call for Papers with them. The workshop is held in a hybrid format, and selected papers will benefit from commentary from a pair of private law scholars, as well as audience Q&A.

More information is available in the attached PDF and on our website at privatelawtheory.com. Submissions can be made using this form.

Best wishes,

Amit

Dear ODG Colleagues,

 

I hope all is well with you. I write to share the Call for Papers for the spring 2027 iteration of the Yale-Toronto-Columbia Private Law Theory Discussion Group’s annual workshop. We are looking for works in progress in private law theory authored by junior scholars (defined to include pre-tenure faculty, postdoctoral and other fellows, graduate students in law or cognate disciplines, and J.D./LL.B. students). Please see the attached PDF. As is detailed there, submissions should be made using this form. 

 

We would be grateful for your efforts to circulate widely among your junior faculty colleagues, fellows, and law and graduate students who may be in your midst. We are eager to receive a wide range of submissions from a diverse range of submitters, including folks traditionally underrepresented in the legal academy in general and in private law theory in particular.

 

The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 30, 2026, at 11:59 pm ET. The workshop itself will be held on Thursday, March 25, 2027, from 12:00 pm to 3:30 pm ET. It will be held in a hybrid format, with options for presenters (and other attendees) to join via Zoom or in person in New Haven, Toronto, or New York. 

 

More information is available on our website (privatelawtheory.com), where you can also sign up for our mailing list, if you haven’t done so already. I am happy to field any questions, or you can send them to the Discussion Group’s inbox (privatelawtheory@yale.edu).

 

Best wishes,

Amit
