Each spring, the Seminar in Private Law brings speakers from academia and practice to Yale Law School to present papers addressing a common theme. Often, the Seminar’s theme will, in one way or another, address the scope of private law, asking what legal, economic, and social arrangements might rightly and efficiently be organized by private ordering.
Students may enroll in the Seminar and earn either 2 units of credit for a thought paper or 3 units of credit for a term paper.
