"We should remember that the American Revolution and its enduring legacy succeeded because the roots of liberty ran deep in 1776, were planted by a variety of gardeners of freedom, and were nourished by a broad and enlightened intellectual ecosystem like the world had never seen." -- from the op-ed today by LEC Executive Director and @georgemasonlaw Professor @DonaldKochan celebrating today's 250th Anniversary of the Virginia Declaration of Rights (June 12, 1776). washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

Throwback Thursday: Henry N. Butler, our sixth Dean from 2015 to 2020. During his leadership our law school achieved much success: establishing new centers, institutes, and clinics, and naming the school after the late Justice Antonin Scalia. - x.gd/S4O9j

#PredictionMarkets — once largely confined to academic discourse — are now in the news almost daily and at the center of a vibrant policy debate.
On May 29, leading experts will examine the rapidly evolving legal landscape surrounding prediction markets, explore their evolution as a market platform, and address key questions concerning the boundaries between state and federal jurisdiction, the intersection of gaming law and derivatives regulation, market structure, consumer protection, and insider trading.
