LAW REVIEW SYMPOSIUM EXAMINES PREFERENCES The University of Pennsylvania Law Review, now in its 150th year of publication,
presented “Preferences and Rational Choice: New Perspectives and Legal
Implications” as the 2002 Journal Symposium. Editorin- Chief Michael Mugmon,
along with Penn faculty Claire Finkelstein, Professor of Law and Philosophy,
and Peter Huang, Assistant Professor of Law, coordinated the event that
took place over two days in early March 2002. In a novel twist, faculty
of the Law School were the moderators on each panel discussion presented,
including “The Preference-Maximization Model of Rationality;” “Intertemporal
Choice;” “Emotions;” “Risk;” “Morality;” “Practices and Rationality;”
and “Legal Implications.” Issues of the University of Pennsylvania Law
Review can be viewed on the web at www.law.upenn.edu/journals/lrev.
