A Short Break

I got in last night and went straight to a conference on Hayek’s thought and the common law in Alexandria, Virginia. After a 2 hour taxi ride through the awful traffic, I got there as the dinner was starting. Today’s been a very enlightening discussion of various works in jurisprudence and legal history. Tomorrow will be more of the same, based on discussion of a number of classic works in legal theory by Jerome Frank, Karl Llewellyn, Felix Cohen, and Lon Fuller. (In between sessions, I’ve been on the phone with colleagues who are working on some very exciting new programs that we’ll unveil next week.)
