| Volume 2008 Symposium – Economic
Analysis and the Design of International Legal Institutions |
| In December 2006, leading scholars from the United States and Europe
gathered at the Max-Planck-Institute for Research on Collective Goods,
Bonn, Germany, to examine the design of international legal institutions
from an economic perspective. Organized by Professor
Tom Ginsburg and Professor
Thomas Ulen, this conference explored issues such as treaty design,
the role of customary international law, and the role of international
law in national level governance. The Law Review looks forward to publishing
many of the articles and comments presented at the conference in the first
issue of its 2008 Volume. |

| Volume 2007 Symposium – Consumer
Bankruptcy and Credit in the Wake of the 2005 Act |
On April 20, 2005, President George W. Bush signed into law the Bankruptcy
Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA). BAPCPA
not only brought the most sweeping changes to the United States bankruptcy
laws since the enactment of the 1978 Bankruptcy Code, but also marked
a radical reorientation in the fundamental nature and premises of consumer
bankruptcy in this country.
In April 2006, one year after the enactment of this controversial
reform, over a dozen of the leading bankruptcy scholars in North America
explored the significance and impact of the new law on consumer bankruptcy
and credit at a conference organized by Professor
Charles Tabb and Professor
Ralph Brubaker. The symposium participants’ papers were published
in the January
2007 issue of the Law Review.
