The Annual Fall Conference at Notre Dame: "Dust of the Earth: On Persons."

For over 20 years, a highlight of my academic year has been the annual Fall Conference, put on by the DeNicola Center for Ethics and Culture, which is led by my good friend Prof. Carter Snead.  This year's theme is "Dust of Earth:  On Persons."  Here is the full schedule (there's a lot!); the conference starts today.  (Streaming is available!) Plenty of the sessions and talks will be of interest to lawyers and legal scholars, particularly those interested in law-and-technology, bioethics, and the rights of disabled persons. And, (perhaps!) best of all, there's a whole panel on "persons" in the work of Cormac McCarthy!
