The Midwest Law and Economics Association annual meeting will be Friday, October 8th, and Saturday, October 9th, 2010, at the University of Colorado Law School in Boulder, Colorado.
For those who have not been to MLEA before, you need not be a midwesterner, nor an economist; the event consists of law professors and economists presenting papers with varying degrees of law and economics content, ranging from empirical analyses and formal economic modeling to legal philosophy and doctrinal papers infused with economic thinking. There is no membership or registration fee.
This year’s meeting is sponsored by the University of Colorado Law School as well as its Silicon Flatirons Center for Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. Presentations will start Friday morning and end mid-late Saturday afternoon; there will be an on-campus dinner and reception Friday night, as well as an informal off-campus dinner Saturday night following the end of the conference.
Submissions: To submit a presentation, email scott.moss [at] colorado.edu with an abstract or paper by September 1, 2010. Please title the email “MLEA Submission – {Name}” or there is a chance Scott will lose it. A conference schedule, and RSVP information for conference meals, will be circulated in September. Submission is open to all, so feel free to share this announcement with colleagues.
Thanks: PrawfsBlawg.

Suffolk University School of Law will host “Contract as Promise at 30: The Future of Contract Theory” on March 25, 2011. Papers will be published in the Suffolk University Law Review. Jeffrey Lipshaw writes:
In 1981, Professor Charles Fried published a book on contract theory entitled Contract as Promise. For almost thirty years, the book has been the seminal work on the moral or deontological justification for the state’s enforcement of private promises. No scholarly discussion of the field can be complete without addressing its claims, whether one agrees or not with its original and provocative stand.
On Friday, March 25, 2011, Suffolk University Law School in Boston will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the book’s publication with a day-long symposium, “Contract as Promise at 30: The Future of Contract Theory.” After reflections from Professor Fried, some of the academy’s foremost contract theorists will offer papers and commentary, with ample opportunity for questions and discussion. Participants presently scheduled include the Honorable Richard Posner, Randy Barnett, Barbara Fried, T.M. Scanlon, Jean Braucher, Richard Craswell, Avery Katz, Henry Smith, Lisa Bernstein, Seana Shiffrin, Daniel Markovits, Juliet Kostritsky, John C.P. Goldberg, Rachel Arnow-Richman, Curtis Bridgeman, Nathan Oman, Roy Kreitner, Gregory Klass, Carol Chomsky, and Robert Scott.
This is an opportune moment to step back, review the alternative approaches to contract theory that have developed since 1981, and to offer views about future doctrinal or inter-disciplinary developments, whether based in moral philosophy, welfare economics, sociology, or other disciplines.
