波士顿大学法学院非常高兴地欢迎来自全国各地的财产法学者在9月举行的产权法进展会议上讨论他们的新濠影汇线上赌场研究。
该会议由内斯托·戴维森教授（现就职于福特汉姆大学法学院）和本杰明·巴罗斯（现就职于托莱多大学法学院院长）创立，最初在科罗拉多大学法学院举行，后来移至福特汉姆大学法学院。 BU Professor of Law 安娜·迪·罗比兰特 and Northeastern Professor of Law Rashmi Dyal-Chand organized the event this year.
Held from September 22 to 24, the conference brought twenty-five senior and junior legal scholars from every methodological orientation to BU Law’s Sumner M. Redstone building to discuss their current research. 它的特色是七个专门讨论正在进行的先进作品的小组和两个关于早期想法的圆桌会议。 “Participants were encouraged to collaborate and learn from each other in this open and inclusive forum,” di Robilant said.
“Property Works in Progress is a now ‘classic’ annual get together for property scholars who gather for three days to discuss works in progress,” di Robilant remarked. “It is a vibrant, inclusive, respectful, and collaborative venue for property scholarship.”
提交的论文考虑了与财产法有关的广泛主题，包括财产法理论、土地使用、征收、财产法历史和知识产权。 伯纳黛特Atuahene, professor of law with the Chicago-Kent College of Law – Illinois Institute of Technology, presented “The State as Thief: Illegal Property Tax Assessments in Detroit,” written with Timothy R. Hodge, professor of economics at Oakland University. 阿图阿恩和霍奇发现，底特律的财产税评估超过了密歇根州宪法规定的50%的上限。 Using this data, they constructed the theory of “stategraft,” in which “state agents transfer property from residents to the state in violation of the state’s own laws.”
Other participants included Eric Claeys, of the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, who presented his “productive labor theory,” which draws on John Locke to link property with the human drive to provide for its own survival and flourish as an individual. 他的论文《物权法中的劳动、排斥和繁荣》表明，他的理论是“当代财产学中两大规范理论——排斥经济理论和进步理论——的替代选择”。
以斯拉伐木工人, of the American University Washington College of Law, offered a review of 驱逐：美国城市的贫困与利润, by Matthew Desmond in “Exploiting the Poor: Housing, Markets, and Vulnerability.” Rosser用这篇评论来探讨Desmond关于穷人被剥削的断言，他考虑了个人行为者和系统性市场因素的错误主张。
In “Fusing the Equitable Function in Private Law,” 亨利·史密斯, Fessenden Professor of Law and director of the Project on the Foundations of Private Law at Harvard Law School, “draws on systems theory to show how equity is a second-order check on the workings of the law, when complex problems such as party opportunism call for such targeted intervention.”
Professor di Robilant discussed the evolution of modern conceptions of property in “The Roman-Bourgeois Jurists and the Invention of Modern Property.” The paper will constitute a chapter from her forthcoming book, titled 罗马资产阶级财产的形成：1804-1950年欧洲物权法史.
“Claims will be challenged,” di Robilant said as she welcomed participants, “sometimes uncomfortably. But I am delighted to provide property scholars with the opportunity to be here and engage in the conversation.”
