Wrap up

The meeting is by invitation only so there has not been and there will be no general call for papers. This is our start up year and the goal is to get a core of people talking about exciting issues that cut across all areas of property. The meeting will be casual and intimate with an expectation of having about 20 people participate. In addition to sharing idea, presenting papers, and having discussion the group will participate in planning for the next year's meeting and for the future of the group... as in when and if to switch to a general call for papers. We will also discuss participation in other meetings such as getting together for the Law & Society meeting.

I am asking each of the people with a book proposal for our initial book series to present a talk or paper about his or her individual book project. Others are invited to do a paper related to work in progress or a recently completed work.

Please send me an e-mail by Sept. 15 indicating that you will be participating so that I can plan for food and other needs. Also let me know if you will require any special equipment for your presentation.

For people with completed book proposals I will use that as your meeting abstract. Everyone else should send me a 1/2 to 1 page abstract of their paper. Send in Word. I will use this to organize the various sessions and will make copies available to all participants.

Also, please send the following information in your e-mail to so that I can make a directory of participants available to everyone at the meeting.
