The doctoral dissertation of a Dutch law student circa 1820 is bound in three copies in three different decorated paper wrappers. Typically such dissertations were printed in a very small number, destined only for friends, family, and associates of the author. The Law Library may hold the only surviving example of each of the three types of decorated paper.

The students at YLS are not only unique, incredibly smart, and passionate but also extremely caring and always determined to offer their support. I have made lifelong friends who have been there for me throughout my time here, and who will remain a very important part of my life forever.”
