University of Texas Seminar on Lawyers and the Economy

The Institute co-sponsored a conference on lawyers and the economy at the University of Texas School of Law entitled "What We Know and Don't Know about the Impact of Legal Services on the American Economy and Polity," held February 1-2, 2002. The conference included some of the country's most respected scholars of the civil justice system, including Stephen Daniels and Joanne Martin of the American Bar Foundation and Professor Marc Galanter of the University of Wisconsin School of Law, all of whom serve on the Pound Institute's Advisory Board. Dr. Richard Marshall, Acting Academic Director of the Pound Institute, attended the conference on behalf of Pound and served as a panel moderator. Pound will utilize some of the material presented at the conference to develop future research on lawyers' contribution to the economy.
