DESCRIPTION:Join us for Legal Theory Workshop with Prof. Dan Priel (Osgoode
 ).\nProf. Priel will present an essay he is working on: 'the purpose of th
 is essay is to offer a general account of the outcomes of seemingly very d
 ifferent court decisions in various areas of private law by showing that w
 hat explains these decisions are two relatively independent assessments of
  the parties to private law litigation. The first is a familiar judgment o
 f the defendant’s fault\, the second is the less familiar judgment of the 
 plaintiff’s desert. At a more theoretical level\, I will rely on this anal
 ysis to challenge one of the popular aspects of corrective justice account
 s of private law\, the idea that liability in private law depends on the e
 xistence of some kind of bipolar relation in which the parties’ respective
  wrongs and liabilities are the mirror image of each other. My ultimate go
 al is to argue that the only justification for private law is political\, 
 by which I mean the same justification for any other law.'\nAbout the spea
 ker\nDan Priel joined Osgoode’s full-time faculty in 2011. Prior to that\,
  he was a Visiting Professor at Osgoode during the 2010-11 academic year a
 nd an Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick in the UK. From 200
 5 to 2007\, he was Oscar M. Ruebhausen Fellow-in-Law at Yale Law School\, 
 and before that a postgraduate student at the University of Oxford\, where
  he wrote his doctoral dissertation. He served as law clerk in the Israeli
  Supreme Court\, and was co-editor-in-chief of the student-edited law jour
 nal at the Hebrew University Law Faculty. His current research interests i
 nclude legal theory\, private law (especially tort law and restitution)\, 
 and he is also interested in legal history and in the application of the s
 ocial sciences\, in particular psychology\, to legal research. His publish
 ed work appeared in Law and Philosophy\, Legal Theory\, Oxford Journal of 
 Legal Studies\, and Texas Law Review.\nThe Workshops\nThe Legal Theory Wor
