I first encountered Professor Craswell's scholarship when I started studying the effect of judicial errors on people's incentives to obey the law. In particular, his joint works with John Calfee were quite illuminating. I have recently been informed about Stanford's conference in honor of Professor Craswell. I wanted to pass along the information:
Who Knows?: Law in an Information Society
A Festschrift in Honor of Richard Craswell
A Festschrift in Honor of Richard Craswell
Feb. 6-7, 2015 on the SLS campus
We live in a time when information—about costs, parties, alternatives, and laws—is more important than ever before. This symposium brings together 25 leading scholars in law and economics, contracts, commercial law, antitrust law, and other topics relating to how litigants, regulators, and policymakers can use information to inform their decisionmaking.
The Stanford Law Review is pleased to present this symposium to celebrate Professor Craswell and his tremendous contributions across many areas of law. Articles will be presented by Ian Ayres and Barry Nalebuff, Louis Kaplow, Alan Schwartz, Christine Jolls, and Tess Wilkinson-Ryan and David Hoffman, and papers will be presented by Matthew Spitzer and Richard Brooks. Many other noted scholars from around the country will serve as discussants.
