Registration is open for the Spring 2026 series of the Law & Finance (Virtual) Workshop. Please use this form to register.

The Law & Finance Workshop was launched in Spring 2025 by scholars at the University of Miami School of Law to create a space for more frequent discussion of scholarly works-in-progress in the field of law and finance, and to foster community among scholars working in this area. Workshops take place on Fridays from 1pm to 2pm eastern time. Registered participants will receive the draft paper and zoom link one week before each workshop. All interested scholars and practitioners are welcome to participate.
