Eckstein Hall Dedication Program

Dolan, and United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, as described in this press release issued by the University. The event will begin place at 2 p.m. in the area between Eckstein Hall and Gesu Church (or Johnston Hall). I hope (and expect) that many will want to join us.

14th Annual Robert F. Boden Lecture
Thomas W. Merrill, the Charles Evans Hughes Professor at Columbia Law School, is one of the nation’s leading legal academics. His substantive expertise includes property, environmental, and administrative law.
American law has been broadly characterized as shifting from a conception of property as particular things infused with subjective value to one in which property is regarded as a storehouse of wealth determined by market forces. The law of waste, which allows someone with a nonpossessory interest in property to object to changes introduced by the possessor, can serve as a barometer of this shift in perspective. The leading case associated with the newer, property-as-value understanding is Melms v. Pabst Brewing Co., which arose out of a dispute on the south side of Milwaukee in the late nineteenth century. It turns out that the actual facts of Melms were significantly different from the characterization offered by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Had the court offered a more accurate version of what happened, the decision would have been regarded as an even more radical repudiation of the traditional conception of property in favor of the equation of property and value.

ECKSTEIN HALL
We’re Building the New Marquette
University Law School.
For the first time in 86 years, Marquette University Law School will have a new home. This dramatic venue, Ray and Kay Eckstein Hall, will benefit not only the Marquette legal community — students, faculty, and alumni — but the greater Milwaukee region and beyond. The new Marquette Law School will be its own dynamic community, and it will engage with Marquette, Milwaukee, and the world beyond like never before.
