The Frances Lewis Law Center (Washington and Lee University School of Law) and the Washington and Lee Law Review present Regulation in the Fringe Economy Nov. 11, 2011. The Washington and Lee Law Review will publish a symposium issue featuring the conference papers in 2012.
The symposium Regulation in the Fringe Economy represents the most significant attempt to date by legal scholars to address the vexing legal and social issues created by lenders on the fringes of the economy who offer payday, auto title, for-profit college, and refund anticipation loans. A complete list of confirmed participants and their paper topics is available at the conference website.
Manuscript submissions are due by Aug. 15, 2011. Even if you are not able to submit a paper, the sponsors invite you to attend the conference, which is free. mw
