The second annual DC Law and Economics Workshop will be held at the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. The workshop is designed to provide a forum for law and economics scholars in the Washington, D.C. area to present and discuss ongoing research in the field. This event continues an annual tradition launched last year, when Georgetown University hosted the inaugural workshop. George Washington University has committed to hosting the third workshop in 2027.

The workshop will take place from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm and will feature four working paper presentations, each followed by discussion with the audience. Lunch will follow the workshop, generously sponsored by the Law & Economics Center (LEC) at George Mason’s Scalia Law School.
