M.C. Mirow has published “Rerum Novarum: New Things and Recent Paradigms of Property Law” in the University of the Pacific Law Review.  This study of Leo XIII’s encyclical Rerum Novarum (1891) and John Sprankling’s The International Law of Property argues that both texts signaled paradigm shifts in our understanding of property law. The piece is an extended version of Mirow’s keynote address at the symposium “The Promises and Perils of and International Law of Property” at the same law school in March of last year.  Mirow is presently serving as a MacCormick Fellow at the Edinburgh Law School, University of Edinburgh.  He is a member of the Florida bar and of FIU Law’s founding faculty.  A link to this work may be found here: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2767482
