A Festschrift in Honor of Richard Craswell

We live in a time when information—about costs, parties, alternatives, and laws—is more important than ever before. This symposium brings together 25 leading scholars in law and economics, contracts, commercial law, antitrust law, and other topics relating to how litigants, regulators, and policymakers can use information to inform their decisionmaking.

Registration is free thanks to the generous support of the Stanford Law School, as well as our law firm sponsors.
