Texas A&M University School of Law's Timothy Mulvaney, professor of law and associate dean for faculty research and development, has been appointed as one of four inaugural fellows of the Centre for Property Law (CCPL) at the University of Cambridge.

The Centre furthers research and scholarship in the field of the law of real property – land law, landlord and tenant law, aspects of trusts law and related matters connected with real property such as planning and environmental regulation. The Centre convenes academic conferences and works with governmental and non-governmental agencies on "both the policy and technical detail of the law relating to property."

Mulvaney, lauded as "a leading light in the progressive property theory school" by the Centre, is particularly concerned with the law of takings and regulatory enforcement. His recent article, ​"Property-as-Society" [2018, Wisconsin Law Review], presents a compelling case for moving away from a liberty-focused account of property.
