The Private Law Theory Discussion Group is a joint initiative between the Center for Private Law at Yale Law School and the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. The workshop aims to provide a forum for established and early career scholars to present their in-progress work in private law theory to an audience of students and faculty. The Discussion Group has a broad understanding of private law and theory. Papers have focussed on doctrinal issues with a theoretical overlay or more abstract issues related to private law.
The fifth annual iteration of the Yale-Toronto Private Law Theory Discussion Group will be held on March 7, 2025 and will feature presentations from the following speakers and commentators:
- 1:00-2:00pm: Erik Encarnacion (UT Austin Law) on anti-discrimination law and contract; with a comment by Anthony Sangiuliano (University of Toronto Faculty of Law)
- 2:15-3:15pm: Helen Scott (Oxford Law) on restitution and unjust enrichment; with a comment by Maytal Gilboa (Western Law)
- 3:30-4:30pm: Benjamin Zipursky (Fordham Law) on moral luck, Bernard Williams, and the law; with a comment by Gregory Antill (Columbia Law)
The papers and Zoom link will be distributed at least a week before the event. Anyone is welcome to attend, including individuals who are not affiliated with the University of Toronto Faculty of Law or Yale Law School.
Please email Amit Singh for the papers and Zoom link distribution.
