Location: 
Falconer Hall, Room 1 (FA1)

Join Professor Ian Williams of University College London for a lunchtime talk on "What is Legal History?"  Professor Williams will also be giving a talk at 4 pm for the Collaborative Program in Book History and Print Culture, entitled “Becoming Normal? Law Printing in the 1630s.”

Ian Williams is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Laws at University College London and has been a Fellow of Christ’s College, Cambridge, and at the Huntington Library. Ian’s research interests are in early-modern legal history, in particular legal scholarship, including law books and the Inns of Court, and legal theory. These interests come together in work on legal reasoning, where legal theory and legal scholarship are applied in individual cases, mixing the history of ideas with histories of the book and reading.

The lunchtime event is by invitation only.  The afternoon talk is free and open to the public.
