Chapman Partners with Syracuse College of Law to Host Two-Day Scholars Workshop on Property Law

Chapman University School of Law's Center for Land Resources partnered with Syracuse College of Law's Center for Property, Citizenship and Social Entrepenuerism for a workshop of papers in progress on February 15-16, 2008.  The title of the program was “Property Transactions and Transitions in an Age of Globalization.”  Twenty three scholars from around the country and abroad participated in the intensive two-day workshop at Chapman, which included papers submitted by Chapman professors Danny Bogart, Denis Binder and Deepa Badrinarayana.  

The participating professors came from a wide variety of schools, including Georgetown, University of Georgia, Vanderbilt, University of North Carolina, and elsewhere.  David Brennen, Deputy Director of the Association of American Law Schools presented a paper as well. Syracuse College of Law was represented by Professors Robin Malloy, Vice Dean and E. I. White Chair and Distinguished Professor of Law, Christian C. Day, Bond, Schoeneck & King Distinguished Professor of Law and LaVonda Reed-Huff, Professor of Law. Each participant was given 20 minutes to explain their work, with abstracts of the papers distributed to the group. After each presentation, the group discussed the particular paper, with the presenters answering questions and often taking notes. The actual set of topics was very diverse.  A number of articles that were refined by the program will ultimately appear in print.

On Friday, Chapman was honored to have Professors Vernon Smith and David Porter as keynote speakers as part of the Chapman Law School Dialogue luncheon series.
