One or more presenters were selected from a call for papers.
The Principles of the Law of Software Contracts seek to weave the currently divergent threads of law governing software contracts (including the threshold questions of whether they are contracts or licenses and whether software is a good, a tangible non-good, or an intangible) into a coherent whole that will guide parties in drafting, performing, and enforcing software contracts and courts and other arbiters in resolving disputes involving software contracts. Professor Hillman and Dean O'Rourke, the Principles' reporter and associate reporter, will offer their unique insights on the Principles' evolution, some key substantive provisions, and their legal and practical implications. Other speakers, chosen from among those who responded to a call for papers, will offer their perspectives on the Principles, the economic, historical, policy, and political forces that motivated and shaped them, and their likely impact on the law and practice of software transactions.
