[We have the following announcement from Jeremy K. Kessler, Columbia Law School. DRE]
I'm pleased to announce the inaugural meeting of the New York Area Legal History Consortium, a new collaboration between Columbia Law School, Fordham School of Law, NYU Law, and more area law schools to come. The goal of the Consortium is to celebrate and interrogate exemplary works of recently published legal history. The first meeting will feature John Witt in conversation with Sarah Seo (NYU, Law) and me. We'll be discussing John's just-published The Radical Fund: How a Band of Visionaries and a Million Dollars Upended America. For John's recent NYT essay on the book, see here.
The meeting will take place on Thursday, Oct. 30, at NYU Law, Vanderbilt Hall, 40 Washington Sq. South, in the Faculty Library on the 3rd Floor. Doors at 5PM; talk to begin promptly at 5:30PM. Reception to follow.
Subsequent, semi-annual events will be held at the Consortium's various participating law schools on a rotating basis.
You can RSVP at [this] link. Please feel free to share this invitation with interested colleagues and students, and to email me (jk3486@columbia.edu) with any questions. I hope you can make it.
