Well, it’s official–my new courses have been listed at UVA Law, including a course on “Repugnant Transactions.” Here’s the full post: New Courses This Fall Offer Different Looks at the Law. And here’s what they say about “Repugnant Transactions”:
Repugnant Transactions, taught by Professor Kimberly D. Krawiec, will examine exchanges and transactions that are traditionally frowned upon — and sometimes illegal — and how what constitutes a “repugnant transaction” is culturally dependent and changes over time. Krawiec, whose papers include “If We Allow Football Players and Boxers to Be Paid for Entertaining the Public, Why Don’t We Allow Kidney Donors to Be Paid for Saving Lives?,” explores in her most recent scholarship how nontraditional markets become legitimized, as well as the potential merits of illegal and taboo ones.
