This seminar offers a legal-theoretical exploration of property as one of the core institutions of law. At its foundation, the course asks how and why we relate to people and things through property. We will study classical justifications for private property and turn to contemporary scholarship to examine pressing issues relevant to society through a property lens, including discussions on gendered and racialized inequality, environmental challenges and economic prosperity. The seminar emphasizes how theories of property inform both doctrine and daily life, preparing students to analyze property law not only as a technical body of rules but also as a site of political and moral debate, thereby fostering critical thinking and creative lawyering skills. Students will also gain practical academic skills, including presenting research in a conference-style setting and beginning the process of drafting a law review article. Requirements include active participation in group discussions and presentations, one short response paper, and a substantial scholarly writing project.
