LAWS 7781 Legal Scholarship Workshop: Regulation and Business
This workshop will feature presentations by five or six invited legal scholars of their works-in-progress concerning law, business, and the regulation of economic activity, broadly construed. Students will meet with one or more BC faculty conveners the week before each presentation to discuss the paper. Students will prepare one-page response papers for each work-in-progress presented. Response papers will be shared with the authors. This workshop is designed for students who are interested in publishing during law school and in legal scholarship more generally. It is also well suited for students with an interest in economic regulation, business, and corporate governance. 1 credit, pass/fail. (The course is repeatable.)
