The Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference began in 2004 at the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at the College of William & Mary. Annually the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference awards the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize 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.

To that end the Brigham-Kanner Prize has been awarded to: Frank Michelman, of Harvard Law School, Richard Epstein, of the University of Chicago Law School, James Ely, of Vanderbilt University Law School, Margaret Radin, of the University of Michigan Law School, Robert C. Ellickson, of the Yale Law School and Richard Pipes, of Harvard University.

The Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference is renowned for its outstanding panel discussions and for bringing together the bench, bar, and academics on its panels. The Conference is notable for its encouragement of active participation from the audience through its question and answer segments with each of the panels.

The 2011 Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Prize will be presented to Justice Sandra Day O’Connor in Beijing, China, during the 8th Annual Brigham Kanner Property Rights Conference.
