One or more presenters to be selected from Call for Papers.
In 1984, the Yale Law Journal published one of the foundational scholarly articles in the study of transactional law, Professor Ronald Gilson’s “Value Creation by Business Lawyers.” In the years since its publication the article has fueled a robust debate on the role of business lawyers and the justification for the services they provide. On the thirtieth anniversary of that influential article this program will re-examine Professor Gilson’s thesis, evaluate the impact of the article, and discuss the prospects for business lawyers creating value in the 21st Century. The panel will feature Professor Gilson, invited participants, and scholarly works selected from a call for papers.
