Long regarded by US legal scholars as uninteresting, private law theory has received renewed attention in the US & around the world. Yet, even amid this scholarly revival, private law is still too often reduced to the more traditional concepts found within tort, property, & contract law. These basic categories alone cannot provide sufficient basis for informed doctrinal analysis - lawyers who hope to apply private law theory must also understand the rules & concepts that operate independently of, across, or within the interstices of these fields. The essays collected in 'Interstitial Private Law' encourage the next generation of private law theorists to engage with the 'connective tissue' of private law.
