Conference participants are William Eskridge, Jr., John A. Garver Professor of Jurisprudence at Yale Law School; John F. Manning, Bruce Bromley Professor of Law at Harvard Law School; Peter L. Strauss, Betts Professor of Law at Columbia Law School; Carlos Manuel Vazquez, professor at Georgetown University Law Center; Elizabeth Garrett, Sydney M.
