Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference 2026
In October 2026, the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference crossed the Atlantic. For its 23rd annual gathering, William & Mary Law School's Property Rights Project partnered with Queen Mary University of London School of Law to bring judges, practitioners and scholars to the heart of London's West End from October 14 to 16. It marked only the third time the conference has convened abroad, following Beijing in 2011 and The Hague in 2016, and its international theme invited participants to explore how property rights are protected and challenged in a global context. The highlight of the week was the presentation of the 2026 Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize to Professor James Penner, whose work, including The Idea of Property in Law, has shaped property theory worldwide. The photos that follow, courtesy of Gary Schwartz, Bella RaeAnne, and Dionna Campanella, capture the panels, conversations, and celebrations that made this year's conference memorable. We hope you enjoy reliving the moments, or discovering what you missed.
