Legal History Roundtable

Legal History Roundtable

In the fall of 2024, the Boston College Law School Legal History Roundtable begins its 23rd successful year. The Roundtable draws on Boston College Law School鈥檚 and Boston College鈥檚 strength and interest in legal history. It offers an opportunity for Boston College faculty and faculty from other area institutions, students, and members of the Boston College community to meet and discuss a pre-circulated paper in legal history. Meeting several times each semester, the Roundtable seeks to promote an informal, collegial atmosphere of informed discussion.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, Professors Mary Sarah Bilder, Daniel Farbman, Aziz Rana, Felipe Cole, and Professors Emeritus Daniel R. Coquillette and Frank R. Herrmann, S.J. as well as Librarian and Lecturer Laurel Davis are conveners.

The Roundtable has typically met several times during the semester in the afternoon at 4:30 pm in the Boston College Law School Library, with refreshments available beginning at 4:15 pm.

If you are interested in a copy of the draft paper to be discussed before each presentation, please contact Professor Aziz Rana.
