Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference Celebrates 21st Year, Honors Professor Lee Fennell
William & Mary Law School hosted its annual Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference on September 12-13, bringing together members of the bench, bar and academia from around the country for a series of thought-provoking panel discussions.
Now in its 21st year, the conference kicked off with the annual banquet and award presentation held in the Great Hall of William & Mary’s historic Sir Christopher Wren Building (1695), the oldest college building still standing in the United States.

Each year during the banquet, the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize is awarded to an individual whose work has advanced the cause of property rights and has contributed to the overall awareness of the important role property rights occupy in the broader scheme of individual liberty. This year’s award recipient was Lee Anne Fennell, Max Pam Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School.
As he presented the award, Stern noted that Professor Fennell has averaged close to four publications per year over the course of her career.
“Her work is also influential, placing her among the top five most-cited property scholars in the property field in the American legal academy today,” Stern said. “A glance at the catalog of her writings testifies to not only her incredible productivity, but also her versatility, imagination, and intellectual curiosity.”
Stern praised Fennell for looking at property law with fresh and penetrating eyes.
