Just another day of Richmond Law faculty making magic happen at the @a-lpe.bsky.social inaugural conference in our town. Love my colleagues! @richmondlaw.bsky.social @lukenorris.bsky.social @marisakabas.bsky.social @erincollins.bsky.social

Great ALPE panel thinking about how law and political economy relate. @akapczynski.bsky.social, @brishen.bsky.social, @salome.bsky.social, & Chantal Thomas @a-lpe.bsky.social

The ALPE conference is on and it’s 🔥! So many great exchanges and such great thinking about law, political economy, and different futures! @a-lpe.bsky.social

So excited to welcome 480 scholars, organizers, practitioners, and students to Richmond tomorrow for the inaugural ALPE conference! 🥳 And if you can’t make it this year, please sign up to be a member and for our mailing list. @a-lpe.bsky.social

This has been a labor of love! Read on to learn about the new, democratic, membership-based structure. Join as a member — and come to our first annual conference in Richmond in Feb! 😊

LPE 2.0: A New Association to Meet the Times

As the Trump administration attempts to suppress critical inquiry and operate outside of conventional legal boundaries, the work of LPE scholars, organizers, and practitioners has never been more…

So excited for all of this content and hope to see many folks in Richmond for the inaugural ALPE conference! You can still register through December 10th.

So delighted that my incredibly talented colleague Danielle Wingfield has won the AALS Family Law section’s emerging scholar award for her excellent work!

Corinna Barrett Lain@corinnabarrettlain.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Now that August is officially ended it’s tour time! I’m traveling around with my book Secrets of the Killing State. Join me in conversation with law professors, advocates, and community leaders as we uncover the history behind America’s most common execution method. Looking forward to see you there!

Excited to be headed to CA for the California Law Review’s “Iqbal at 15” symposium. Thanks to @gelbach.bsky.social and @andrewbradt.bsky.social for organizing!

Grateful to now be the Tyler Hanes Professor of Law & Associate Dean for Faculty Development at @richmondlaw.bsky.social. Really looking forward to sharing and celebrating my colleagues’ excellent work!

Couldn't be more excited about this CFP - and the new organization it will help launch. Check it out, and get together w/ your pals to think up the panels, roundtables, and papers you might want to present!

Very excited to be hosting the inaugural Association for Law & Political Economy conference here in Richmond and for this membership-based association to get off the ground! Check out the CfP below!

My latest, Procedural Political Economy, is up. It’s an effort to marry the civil procedure and LPE literatures. Check it out!

🚨🔥🚨 So excited to be working on launching the new LPE Association! Please save the new date for the conference here in Richmond & follow us at @a-lpe.bsky.social!

LPE friends - CONFERENCE UPDATE!! ⏰☎️ Planning is still underway for the first annual LPE conference, launching a new LPE Association, but we're pushing the dates to FEBRUARY 5-7, 2026. We'll be putting out a CFP by August with information about how and what to submit. Until then, save the new date!

It was such a pleasure to host the 10th(!) annual Civil Procedure Workshop here at Richmond! Such great papers and discussions & so delightful to have a great cohort of fellows and junior scholars in the midst sharing their work!

University of Richmond School of Law@richmondlaw.bsky.social · last yr.

Richmond Law was proud to host the 10th Annual Civil Procedure Workshop this week! Civil procedure scholars gathered for two days of rich discussion and connection. Huge thanks to Dean Wendy Perdue, @profk.bsky.social, @lukenorris.bsky.social, and all who joined! flic.kr/s/aHBqjCgTwh

Having had the pleasure of reading many iterations of this book, I can attest that it’s fabulous! @athenais.bsky.social illuminates many ways the law treats those at the high- and low-end of the wealth spectrum differently and, in doing so, teaches us new things abt the architecture of inequality.

Allison Tait@athenais.bsky.social · last yr.

It feels weird, but I'm excited to say I just submitted all the chapters of my forthcoming book for first edits 🤩. It's about family money, wealth management, and poverty governance (surprise!). It's about systems of extraction and generational wealth. It's about laws, geographies, and narratives.

As always, insightful and interesting work by the one and only @marissaesque.bsky.social!

Marissa Jackson Sow@marissaesque.bsky.social · last yr.

Building on the astute analyses by @karenattiah.bsky.social and @adamserwer.bsky.social in my debut post for the @lpeblog.bsky.social on the Trump Administration’s assault on Black federal workers today, which calls upon us to consider that peonage may be the point: lpeproject.org/blog/racial-...

Every year, when I teach civil rights litigation, my students are confronted with & confront me questions about what civil rights suits can actually accomplish. This essay is my answer. It's a very early draft & I'd welcome your suggestions, additions & stories. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

🚨🚨 Check out my fantastic colleague @athenais.bsky.social with a nuanced post on what universities can (and can’t) do with their endowments in this moment!

Allison Tait@athenais.bsky.social · last yr.

We are going to need to re-think university funding so very soon and understanding what endowments can and can't do is a helpful place to start. Happily, here is some on-point morning reading, brought to you by me and @lpeblog.bsky.social @lpeproject.bsky.social lpeproject.org/blog/how-to-...

Yes, come join — such a great event and great way to make new connections and friends in the academy! 👇👇
