Law and Economics Workshop
Workshops at Chicago have been the proving ground for new ideas in law and economics for several decades. They are the place where faculty from Chicago and elsewhere present new ideas and try out their latest papers.
Workshops are at 3:30 PM on Zoom until further notice. Copies of workshop papers will be sent to attendees approximately one week before the workshop. If you wish to receive an e-mail copy of the workshop paper, subscribe to our mailing list, or have questions about the workshop schedule, please contact Norma R. de Yagcier by email at ndeyagci@uchicago.edu or by phone at 773-702-3142.
Faculty Co-Directors for 2020-2021 are Lee Fennell and Dhammika Dharmapala.
