: PrawfsAwesome Civil Recourse Conference at FSU
By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel
My apologies for the brief delay in getting notice of this exciting conference up to you all, but FSU is hosting yet another all-star conference this spring, this one organized by the FSU Law Review and my colleague, the inimitable Curtis Bridgeman. The information appears below and after the jump. I plan on being there and may have a small role in trying to keep Jason Solomon in line during his panel.
Come to the 'Hassee in February. It'll likely be warmer then than wherever you're reading this now, and more importantly, this will be a stellar set of conversations, all slated to appear in the FSU law review.
Symposium on Civil Recourse Theory
February 11-12 , 2011
at the Florida State University College of Law
Tallahassee, Florida
Presented by the Florida State University Law Review.
Civil recourse theory is an account of private law (property, contract and especially
tort) according to which the primary purpose of private law is to empower victims to
confront publicly those who have wronged them and enlist the state?s help in addressing those wrongs. This event brings together some of the world?s top scholars in private law to discuss this emerging area of legal philosophy.
