Abstract

If I tried to discuss all the papers, I would give them only a superficial reference; there are too many to cover with any depth. I did, however, want to discuss some fine examples of the conference and then consider the broader issues that they raise about Hadley as an artifact of the common law, both the common law of the mid-nineteenth century and the common law of the early twenty-first. As the title of the conference suggests, Hadley illustrates how wide-ranging and intertwined the common law is, both in geographic and cultural terms and in terms of its flexibility as the world around us changes.
