The Workshop offers a regular forum for scholars at Brown to engage the themes of law and legal history—broadly construed, We are open to all kinds of presentations: a prospectus of a project; a piece of writing in its preliminary stages; a set of sources that raises issues of methodology, etc.
Future Workshops: The Brown Legal History Workshop (BLHW) will restart in Fall of 2024 after a COVID-19 hiatus. If you would like to attend and/or present your work at a future workshop, please contact the BLHW organizers at:

We meet twice a semester over a shared reading of any attendee's choosing—whether a seminal text required for an exam or teaching, or a newer work.
