Legal History at SSHA: Day 3

It's Day 3 of the annual meeting of the Social Science History Association. Today at 10:15 I'm participating in an author-meets-reader panel on Michele Landis Dauber's The Sympathetic State. (Spoiler alert: I'm a big fan, as I've written here.) The other discussants are Alice O'Connor, Brian Balogh, and Joanna Grisinger; William Novak is chairing.
