• The conference Critical Legal Studies: Intellectual History and the history of the present, will be held at Princeton University, on February 27-28, 2020.  “Prompted by plans to create a Critical Legal Studies Archive at the Princeton University Mudd Library, the conference will bring together those who participated in CLS in its heyday; key figures from contemporaneous movements in the US and abroad; and people interested today in this history and its contemporary significance.”  The conference is free and open to the public and sponsored by Princeton's Program in Law and Public Affairs.
