LAW5 602 - American Legal History

This seminar provides an opportunity to investigate problems in American legal history and to learn from one another. Students will write a 40-page research paper, evaluate five or six papers written by classmates, and participate in weekly discussions of important works written from different historiographical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives. Each student also has a weekly appointment time to discuss with the instructor a topic, an appropriate method, and a plan of work. Papers may focus on the eighteenth, the nineteenth, or the twentieth centuries.
