The J. Willard Hurst Summer Institute in Legal History is sponsored by the Institute for Legal Studies in conjunction with the American Society for Legal History (ASLH). Each Institute is organized and chaired by a well-known legal historian and includes visiting senior scholars who lead specialized sessions. While sessions have been held biennially, it is possible the Institute will move to a three year cycle.
For each Hurst Institute, a committee appointed by the ASLH reviewed applications from beginning faculty members, doctoral students with completed or almost completed dissertations, and recent J.D. graduates, and selected 12 junior scholars from around the world as Institute Fellows. The Fellows came to Madison for two weeks to participate in seminars, meet other legal historians, and discuss their own work.
The Next Hurst Institute: June 14-27, 2009. We are pleased that Barbara Welke, Associate Professor of History and Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota will chair the Hurst Summer Institute again in 2009. Guest scholars will be named at a later date. The two-week program is structured but informal, and features discussions of core readings in legal history and analysis of the work of the participants in the Institute. Applications will be accepted in Fall 2008 when more complete information will be posted.
