I just returned home from the [Re]Integrating Spaces Colloquium at Savannah Law School. The event was terrific. Al Brophy of UNC (and of Faculty Lounge blogging fame) gave a sweeping keynote address on the development of property law from Blackstone to the rise of Progressive Property. The panel discussions following the keynote were equally energetic, covering topics from slavery to tax credits to road-side memorials. Congratulations to Marc Roark and Caprice Roberts (and the students of the Savannah Law Journal) for putting on such a great event.
Along those lines; If you can, find an excuse to give a presentation at Savannah. The city is fun and beautiful and weird. It’s also exciting to be at a law school so close to its dawn. Starting a new law school in this economic climate certainly poses some unique challenges. But there’s a real entrepreneurial spirit amongst the faculty and students that was contagious. I look forward to seeing where Savannah Law School heads over the next few years.
