The Cambridge University Press
Studies in Legal History Series recently welcomed a new member -- UC Hastings'
Reuel Schiller -- to the editorial team. Here's the
SLH announcement:
Studies in Legal History Editors Holly Brewer, Michael Lobban, and
Sarah Barringer Gordon welcome Reuel Schiller to the ALH editorial team.
“I am deeply honored to become a co-editor of the Society’s Studies
in Legal History series,” Schiller said. “The series’ list is a
tremendous one, and its role in nurturing young legal historians is
exceptionally important. Our field is growing, both in numbers and in
the range of legal subjects that scholars are viewing through a
historical prism. I appreciate the opportunity to advance the work of
the series in this exciting time for our discipline.”
Reuel Schiller is The Honorable Roger J. Traynor Chair and Professor
of Law at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law,
where he teaches American legal history, administrative law, and labor
and employment law. He has written extensively about the legal history
of the American administrative state, and the historical development of
labor law and employment discrimination law. He is the author of Forging Rivals: Race, Class, Law, and the Collapse of Postwar Liberalism
(Cambridge University Press, 2015), as well as numerous articles on the
history of American labor law and administrative law in the twentieth
century. In 2008, he was awarded the American Bar Association, Section
on Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice Award for Scholarship in
Administrative Law. Forging Rivals received an honorable
mention for the 2016 J. Willard Hurst Prize from the Law and Society
Association. His current research focuses on the development of
administrative law and the regulatory state after the collapse of the
New Deal order.
Reuel is particularly (though not exclusively) interested in working
with authors writing about subjects in nineteenth and twentieth-century
American legal history related to state-building, the employment
relationship, constitutional law, public law, and the interaction of
race and class in the legal system. Though his own work sits at the
juncture of legal, political, and intellectual history, he is delighted
to work with authors across a wide range of methodologies and subjects.
