September 08, 2025

The William & Mary Property Rights Project has announced the lineup for the upcoming Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference, and this year’s event will feature several ALI members among its speakers. The annual conference, to be held on October 23-24, continues its tradition of bringing together leading scholars, jurists, and practitioners to explore critical developments in property rights law.

The conference honors the legacy of Toby Prince Brigham and Gideon Kanner, whose careers were dedicated to advancing private property rights. The event is recognized for its dynamic panel discussions, cross-disciplinary dialogue, and audience engagement, along with the presentation of the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize.

This year, the following ALI members will participate:

  • Vicki Been, Judge Edward Weinfeld Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Furman Center for Real Estate & Urban Policy at NYU School of Law
  • David L. Callies, Benjamin A. Kudo Professor of Law, Emeritus, at the University of Hawaii’s Richardson School of Law
  • Donald J. Kochan, Professor of Law and Executive Director of the Law & Economics Center at Scalia Law School, George Mason University
  • Julia D. Mahoney, John S. Battle Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law
  • Thomas W. Merrill, Charles Evans Hughes Professor of Law at Columbia Law School
  • Robert H. Thomas, Joseph T. Waldo Visiting Chair in Property Rights Law at William & Mary Law School and Director of Property Rights Litigation at the Pacific Legal Foundation
