In the fall of 2009, the Boston College Law School Legal History Roundtable started its eighth successful year. The Roundtable draws on Boston College Law School’s and Boston College’s strength and interest in legal history. The Roundtable offers an opportunity for Boston College faculty and faculty from other area institutions 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 2009-2010 academic year, Professor Mary Sarah Bilder, Professor Daniel R. Coquillette, Professor Frank Herrmann and Professor James S. Rogers are conveners.
The Roundtable meets on Thursday afternoons at 4:30 in the Rare Book Room of the Boston College Law School Library. Refreshments are available at beginning at 4:15 pm.
Please contact Professor Bilder if you plan to attend the roundtables. Copies of the papers are available for download and instructions will be sent to you. Parking on the Boston College Law School campus requires a visitor's permit. Please let Professor Bilder know in advance by calling the administrative assistants' office at (617) 552-4125. Please contact Prof. Mary Bilder for further questions (617-552-0648; bilder@bc.edu).
