                           March 5-6, 2010
                           Washington, D.C.



     The Association for Law, Property, and Society (ALPS) annual
     meeting will be held MARCH 5-6, 2010, at Georgetown Law
     School in Washington, D.C.



     TOPICS:


     Topics will include all areas of property (real, personal,
     intangible, cultural, and intellectual property), and
     themes will center on Property and issues related to
     Entrepreneurship, Development, Identity, Takings,
     Sovereignty, Finance, Mortgage Markets, Securitization,
     Environment, Sustainability, Land Use, Patents, Copyright,
     Trade Secrets, Internet, and the concept of Home.


     While all types of paper topics are welcome and encouraged
     two particular themes are being developed for book
     publications. These two themes are: 1) Property, Identity,
     and Sovereignty; and 2) Property and Entrepreneurship. If
     there are sufficient papers on other themes we will
     consider possible books for them as well. Books are theme
     oriented and not merely conference proceedings. All
     appropriate papers will be considered for a book if the
     author wishes. There are no obligations to commit a paper
     to a publication.



     PARTICIPATION:


     Individual paper proposals or session proposals for a panel
     composed of three to four paper participants are welcome
     (panels may include a chair and discussant as well). The
     registration form is available from the ALPS webpage:

     SUBMISSIONS/REGISTRATION:


     Abstracts are due by Sept. 25, 2009. All participants will
     be notified of acceptance of submitted paper proposals by
     October 5, 2009. Registration/Membership fee of $100 is due
