Our friends at the
Boston College Law School write the BC Legal History Roundtable will have its first event of the spring 2022 semester, an in-person session, on Thursday, February 3, at 4:30 in the Rare Book Room. Professor
Bethany Berger, University of Connecticut Law School, will present her paper “Race to Property: Racial Distortions of Property Law, 1634 to Today,” which is available from
the Roundtable website. Professor Berger "is the Wallace Stevens Professor at University of Connecticut School of Law and the 2022 Oneida Indian Nation Visiting Professor at Harvard Law School. Her articles in American Indian Law, Property, and Legal History have been excerpted and discussed in over a dozen casebooks and edited collections, as well as in testimony before Congress and briefs to the Supreme Court."
The organizers ask that attendees wear masks because of the small size of the Rare Book Room, and they regret that they will be unable to provide refreshments.
