Ninth Biennial Conference on the Teaching of Transactional Law and Skills
Emory University School of Law, May 30-31, 2025
Integrating Doctrine, Practice, and Pedagogy to Prepare the Business and Transactional Attorneys of the Future

It was recently announced that a historic 6 million dollar gift from Emory’s emeritus professor Bill Carney would be used in the formation of the William and Jane Carney Center for Business and Transactional Law. We are thrilled to jointly present this conference, which will celebrate three pillars of the new Carney Center: doctrine, practice, and pedagogy. We welcome scholars, lawyers, and teachers engaged in preparing students to become business and transactional attorneys.
The conference will be held at Emory University School of Law, beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, May 30, 2025, and ending at 3:45 p.m. on Saturday, May 31, 2025. Information about registration and accommodations is forthcoming.
Call for Proposals
We are accepting proposals immediately, from now through the end of March. You may present alone or with colleagues.
Please prepare to give a 60-minute, interactive presentation on any aspect of business and transactional law and skills education viewed through the lens of our theme. How do we bring the three pillars of doctrine, practice, and pedagogy together to help students become competent business and transactional attorneys?
When the proposal submission portal opens on Friday, January 17, 2025, you may submit your proposal electronically. For more information about the conference, please contact Kelli Pittman.
