Obligations Conference

The Obligations Conference brings together scholars and practitioners from across the common law world to discuss current issues in contract law, the law of torts, equity, unjust enrichment, and private law theory. The series originated at Melbourne Law School, where the first conference was held in 2002 and the second in 2004. Subsequent conferences in the series have been held in Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada and the UK. Details of the conferences held so far are provided on the I - X page.

The eleventh conference in the series will be held at Harvard Law School from 8–11 July 2025 and will address the theme Private Law: Inside and Out. The call for papers for this conference has closed. The conference website will be available and accepting registrations in spring 2025.

The Obligations Conference series is convened by Andrew Robertson.
