Dave Fagundes & Aaron Perzanowski on Clown Eggs & Property Norms

In this episode, Dave Fagundes, Baker Botts LLP Professor of Law at the University of Houston Law Center, and Aaron Perzanowski, Professor of Law at Case Western Reserve University College of Law, discuss their paper "Clown Eggs & Property Norms," which will appear in the Notre Dame Law Review. Among other things, Fagundes and Perzanowski describe the Clown Egg Register, an collection of (mostly) ceramic eggs used to document the appearance of well-known clowns. They explain why the Register was created, and how clowns use it to not only to police informal ownership norms in their appearance, but also to promote and regulate their profession. You can see many of the clown eggs in Luke Stephenson & Helen Champion's book of photographs, "The Clown Egg Register."
