Legal History Forum
The Legal History Forum brings legal history scholars to the Law School from around the University, from around the United States, and from around the world, to present works-in-progress for discussion and debate. Organized by rotating student Legal History Fellows, the Forum aims to host cutting-edge work in the field of legal history in a collegial setting suited to searching dialogue and debate.
Papers will be pre-circulated. If you have any questions please contact this year’s Legal History Fellows, Gabe Levine (gabriel.levine@yale.edu) and Kate Redburn (kate.redburn@yale.edu).
