Spring 2017 Workshop Series Schedule | Columbia Law School

Spring 2017 Workshop

Whereas fall semester workshops are sponsored by the Center for Law and Economic Studies, spring semester workshops are sponsored by the Center for Contract and Economic Organization.

The Center hosts the Workshop in the Spring semester, and invites speakers from Law Schools in the first half and economists in the second half, thus bridging the space between the two disciplines in the course of the series.
