University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law is pleased to host the 15th Annual International Conference on Contracts (KCON XV), the largest annual scholarly and educational conference devoted to Contracts and related areas of commercial law. The two-day conference welcomes contracts scholars and teachers of all experience levels, as well as those preparing to enter the academy, and scholars whose primary teaching appointments are not in law schools.

The conference affords an opportunity to present and discuss ideas on a wide range of topics at every level of development, including recently-published articles, articles accepted for publication but not yet in print, works in progress, thought experiments, preliminary ideas, and pedagogical innovations. It also provides an opportunity to network with colleagues and potential collaborators or mentors from around the country and other parts of the world.

KCON XV Lifetime Achievement Award: John Andrew Spanogle, Jr., William Wallace Kirkpatrick Research Professor Emeritus of Law at George Washington University School of Law.
