Legal History in the Curriculum
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-75497-0 (ISBN)
This collection offers an overview and examples of cutting-edge practice in teaching legal history across the law curriculum, challenging expectations of its place and potential. The book’s three sections explore practices and possibilities in the core curriculum, in dedicated legal history courses and in law schools across the world. They highlight how legal history offers diverse and inclusive content, global perspectives, and transnational understandings to students. By exploring contributors’ own purposes and practices, they provide insight and fresh ideas on how and why readers can incorporate legal histories into their own teaching.
The volume will be an invaluable resource for all those involved in the teaching of law and the law school curriculum.
