The workshop program invites law and
economics scholars from our own faculty and from other schools
to deliver working drafts of their papers to the faculty and
a small group of students at Virginia. Faculty and students
attending the workshops are encouraged to read the paper prior
to the workshop. After brief introductory remarks by the workshop
guests, questions and discussion follow for the remainder of
the session.
