Program in Law and History
The Program in Law and History was established in 2007. The program's mission is to support the study of law in its historical context. The program brings together scholars and students from the University of Minnesota and around the world to foster teaching and research in all areas and periods of legal history.
The Program in Law and History announces the Alumni Law and History Fellowship, made possible by generous gifts from alumni of the Law School. For information about the 2009-2010 competition and application process, click here.
