• After their recent discovery, two journals from the Territorial Court of Clatsop County, dating from 1849 to 1853, have been deposited with special collection of the State of Oregon Law Library. More. 

• From the Washington Post's "Made by History" section, several op-eds of interest: Gregory Ablavsky (Stanford Law School), writes about states' battles with the federal government for control of public lands--and how both levels of government "have long trampled on Native American rights"; Carly Goodman (American Friends Service Committee) offers a historian's take on the Temporary Protected Status program and the consequences of failure to renew it; and Elizabeth A. Herbin-Triant (University of Massachusetts Lowell) marks the 100th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Buchanan v. Warley ("The forgotten civil rights case that stopped the spread of Jim Crow").

•  Notice & Comment reports that Philip Hamburger, Columbia Law, the author of Is Administrative Law Unlawful? “has started a nonprofit, public interest law firm called the New Civil Liberties Alliance.”  H/t: JLG

• We noticed an advertisement for a “person with a strong interest in law, legal history and commercial arbitration” for a legal history of arbitration in the GCC, which we're assuming is the Gulf Cooperation Council. 

• Last week in Princeton University’s Workshop in Constitutional Development, Lynda Dodd, City College, City University of New York, presented on "Reconstruction and the Origins of Civil Rights," and Michael Paris, College of Staten Island, City University of New York, presented on "Derrick Bell and the Lost Cause of School Desegregation: A Reexamination."  H/t: LAPA.

• ICYMI: The Princeton Slavery Project, in the New York Times.  Also: The Bolsheviks and the Law.  And more bicentennial hoopla at HLS.

 Weekend Roundup is a weekly feature compiled by all the Legal History bloggers.
