In 2020,
James Oldham, the St. Thomas More Professor of Law and Legal History at the
Georgetown University Law Center, took emeritus status after fifty years on the faculty. Last January, with the help of a dozen legal historians, Georgetown Law celebrated his career with the symposium, “James Oldham: The Love and Labor of Archival Research.” Last week, while we were away, revisions of the remarks delivered on that occasion
were published in The Docket, the online supplement to
Law and History Review. Last week, many LHB readers will have spotted Gautham Rao’s announcement, as Editor-in-Chief of
LHR, on social media of the publication of the symposium, but we note it here as well to ensure that our other readers know of it too.
