The following comes to us from the Law & Economics Center at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University.

The Law & Economics Center is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications to the Workshop for Law Professors on Teaching Capitalism. This program will be held at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa in Beaver Creek, Colorado with attendees arriving on Sunday, July 10 and departing on Thursday, July 14.

The Workshop for Law Professors on Teaching Capitalism is a five-day program that will deepen law professors’ understanding of the fundamentals of capitalism, educate the participants in methods and techniques for teaching about capitalism as a stand-alone course in their own law schools, and help guide these professors in ways to integrate lessons learned from capitalism and discussions around the topic into their subject-specific doctrinal courses like corporations, constitutional law, or on common law subjects. The workshop is designed to enrich the curricula of law schools across the country by encouraging a more robust discussion of capitalism and its relationship with the law in courses, by giving its attendees the tools necessary to take this instructional guidance back to their home institutions.  Across 9 lectures (and a film night), law professors will learn from the leading experts on the pedagogy of teaching capitalism and from other key scholars in the subjects covered.

Workshop Faculty Includes:

George Priest (Yale Law School)

Mike Munger (Duke University)

Donald Boudreaux (George Mason University)

Jim Huffman (Lewis & Clark Law School)

The LEC offers a $1,000 honorarium for successful completion of the program (from which attendees are expected to cover their own travel and incidental expenses).
