Federal Ground: Governing Property and Violence in the First U.S. Territories
- This event has passed.
Please join the Stanford Law and Policy Review and Stanford Law School for an interactive panel discussing Stanford Law School Professor Greg Ablavsky’s new book Federal Ground: Governing Property and Violence in the First U.S. Territories (Oxford UP, 2021). Federal Ground explores how, in the first two federal territories, a minuscule and distrusted national government nonetheless gained authority by arbitrating disputes over property and violence.
Professor Ablavsky will be joined by Professor Joseph Singer of Harvard Law School, Professor Matthew Fletcher of Michigan State University Law School, and Professor Alison LaCroix of the University of Chicago Law School on a panel moderated by new Stanford Law School Assistant Professor Elizabeth Reese.
All those registered will be entered into a drawing for a copy of Federal Ground signed by Professor Ablavsky. His book can also be obtained at the Stanford Book Store, or from Oxford University Press or Amazon.
