CALL FOR PAPERS

The Institute for Law & Economics (ILE) at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School is pleased to announce its Fourth Annual Junior Faculty Business & Financial Law Workshop. The Workshop will be held in person on January 23, 2026 at or near Penn Carey Law.  

The Workshop supports and recognizes the work of pre-tenured scholars in tenure-track positions in the business and financial fields, including corporations, securities, finance, accounting, banking, bankruptcy, tax, and general business law, while promoting interactions with such scholars, selected tenured faculty, and practitioners. By providing a forum for the exchange of creative ideas in these areas, ILE also aims to encourage new and innovative scholarship in the business and financial arena. 

Approximately 6 to 8 papers will be chosen from those submitted for presentation at the Workshop. One or more senior scholars and practitioners will comment on each paper, followed by a general discussion of each paper among all participants. The Workshop audience will include invited pre-tenured scholars, faculty from Penn Carey Law, The Wharton School, and other institutions, practitioners…
