About
The Project on Private Law is a research program focused on the study and revitalization of private law—areas of law characterized by their horizontal, inter-personal structure. Private law in this understanding covers not just the traditional fields of common law obligations, such as contracts, torts, and property, but also more specialized domains that embody the same horizontal structure in their working, such as intellectual property law, anti-discrimination law, and civil rights law, among others. The project aims to advance both faculty scholarship and student interest in different areas of private law by convening workshops, symposia, and seminars in the field.
