Edward McKirdy and Harry Riskin, McKirdy & Riskin‘s founding partners, recently attended the Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference in Beijing, China.  The annual conference, which focuses on the interplay of civil rights and property rights, brought legal scholars, jurists, and practitioners from the United States and China together at Tsinghua University in Beijing to discuss and debate the global evolution of property rights.  During the conference retired United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor was awarded the 2011 Brigham-Kanner Prize.  In her acceptance remarks, Justice O’Connor discussed the United States’ history of property rights protections, China’s emerging laws, and her own property rights decisions.
