Horwitz Legal History Conference

This morning's email brings the program for a conference in honor of Morton Horwitz, which will be held at Harvard Law School this September 26 and 27.  It is sponsored by Harvard Law School, The Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review and the Illinois Legal History Program.   Mary Dudziak's  Legal History Blog has all the details.  Daniel Hamilton's done his typically awesome work of putting together a very full program.

I'll be talking about this and Horwitz' contributions to legal history as we get closer to the conference--as well as the paper I'll be giving, on ideas of progress in antebellum literary addresses.  I've very excited about the conference and it'll be interesting to see what people make of Horwitz'  work, especially Transformation of American Law, 1780-1860.
