Inaugural Law and Political Economy Association Conference

Save the date for the inaugural Law and Political Economy Association conference on September 11-13, 2025 at the University of Richmond School of Law!

This conference will serve as the launch for a new Law and Political Economy Association, an organization dedicated to the production of scholarly knowledge by academics, researchers, organizers, practitioners, and others committed to centering issues of political economy in the study of law. We hope that this work can be part of a larger project of imagining and working towards a more democratic, fair, egalitarian, inclusive, and sustainable future.

Look out for a formal call for papers soon – soliciting proposals for papers, paper panels, roundtables, or pedagogy/practice workshops. The conference will also include programmatic meetings and sessions to launch the association. All who are welcome – including and especially those who are LPE-curious!
