Legal History Roundtable

Legal History Roundtable

In the fall of 2026, the Boston College Law School Legal History Roundtable begins its 25th successful year. The Roundtable draws on Boston College Law School’s and Boston College’s strength and interest in legal history. It offers an opportunity for Boston College faculty and faculty from other area institutions, students, and members of the Boston College community to meet and discuss a pre-circulated paper in legal history. Meeting several times each semester, the Roundtable seeks to promote an informal, collegial atmosphere of informed discussion.

For the 2026–2027 academic year, Professors Mary Sarah Bilder, Daniel Farbman, Aziz Rana, Felipe Cole, Adnan Zulfiqar, Marco Basile, and Professors Emeritus Daniel R. Coquillette and Frank R. Herrmann, S.J. are conveners.

The Roundtable has typically met several times during the semester in the afternoon at 4:30 p.m. in the Boston College Law School Library, with light refreshments available beginning at 4:15 p.m.

To stay updated on our upcoming presentations and receive a copy of the draft paper in advance, join our mailing list. Please contact Scott Sheltra to join the mailing list.
