The 9th Biennial Conference on the Teaching of Transactional Law and Skills

The William and Jane Carney Center for Business and Transactional Law and The Center for Transactional Law and Practice present the 9th Biennial Conference on the Teaching of Transactional Law and Skills.

By now, we hope that you’ve all seen the Press Release announcing the historic 6 million dollar gift from Emory’s emeritus professor Bill Carney for the formation of the William and Jane Carney Center for Business and Transactional Law. We are thrilled to jointly present this Conference, which will celebrate three pillars of the new Carney Center: doctrine, practice, and pedagogy. We will welcome you as scholars, lawyers, and teachers engaged in preparing students to become business and transactional attorneys.

The Conference will be held at Emory, beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, May 30, 2025, and ending at 3:45 p.m. on Saturday, May 31, 2025. Information about registration and accommodations is forthcoming.

Call for Proposals

We are accepting proposals immediately, from now through the end of March. You may present alone or with colleagues.

Please prepare to give a 60-minute, interactive presentation on any aspect of business and transactional law and skills education viewed through the lens of our theme. How do we bring the three pillars of doctrine, practice, and pedagogy together to help students become competent business and transactional attorneys?

You may submit your proposal electronically.
