The success of the Hurst Institute is reflected in the comments of the
Fellows. One described the presentation and discussion sessions as "an
extraordinarily valuable and intellectually rich experience. . . . . It was a
unique opportunity to think critically about a variety of theories and
methodologies of legal history, and learn about a number of new subjects within
the field." Another Hurst Fellow stressed the importance of building a
community of scholars: "The discussions we had were some of the best I’ve
had since beginning my graduate education. Our common passion for legal history
-- and especially legal history in the Hurstian tradition -- brought me newfound
energy and enthusiasm for my current work and my future career. To practice
legal history is a more interesting prospect now that I know that I undertake
the journey with these people as my colleagues."
The next Hurst Summer Institute is scheduled for June 2003. For information

Law and History Review
(from Chris Tomlins, Editor)
Members of the ASLH will have noticed (I hope) the changes on-going in the Law
and History Review. At the beginning of 1998, the LHR became a
three-issue journal – a change that everyone will have become used to by now.
The more observant among us may also have noticed that the size of each issue
has been increasing, to the point where we have adopted a new
"default" length of 256 pages per issue. Most momentous, of course, is
the appearance of the journal in a full "on-line" format under the
auspices of the "History Cooperative" <http://www.historycooperative.org/>
. The Cooperative is an expanding association of leading history journals formed
under the auspices of the AHA, the OAH, the National Academy Press and our own
publisher, the University of Illinois Press. The four founding partners have
funded the Cooperative extremely generously. As one of the first associate
members, the LHR is playing an active role in the governance of the
Cooperative and in its plans for further development. We hope soon to be in a
position to encourage (perhaps solicit) scholarship in legal history that takes
full advantage of the representational possibilities inherent in on-line media.
Meanwhile, we are taking steps to develop some new features on our own web page
<http://www.press.uillinois.edu/journals/lhr.html>, notably making
available details of forthcoming issues, and in some cases providing
"pre-print" versions of selected forthcoming articles in PDF format.
All these developments are testament to the increasing prominence that legal
history has attained in historical and legal scholarship at large over the last
ten or fifteen years. At the LHR we hope to continue that trend with our
next project, a major drive to increase subscriptions, particularly
institutional subscriptions. We hope that existing members of the ASLH will be
willing to give us a hand in the endeavor – recruit a new subscriber, or
ensure that your institution’s libraries receive the journal. We promise not
to bombard you with mail, but expect to receive some promotional material during
the coming year, and please don’t throw it away before reading it!
As always, the LHR expresses its gratitude to the American Bar
Foundation for its generous support of the journal’s editorial office.
Studies in Legal History
(From Tom Green and Dirk Hartog, co-editors)
Two Series books appeared in Spring, 2001: Charles W. McCurdy, The Anti-Rent
Era in New York Law and Politics, 1835-1865; and William E. Nelson, The Legalist
Reformation: Law, Politics, and Ideology in New York, 1920-1980. One book is due
out this Fall:Sarah Barringer Gordon, The Mormon Question: Polygamy and
Constitutional Conflict in Nineteenth-Century America.
We anticipate publication of another half dozen books over the two years,
2002-3, and as many again in the two following years. The editors want to
express their great appreciation to the University of North Carolina Press and
especially to Chuck Grench, Executive Editor at the Press, who has gotten the
Series's third decade at North Carolina off to a fine start.
Tarlton Law Library Legal History Series
The Jamail Center for Legal Research has launched the Tarlton Law Library
Legal History Series with an illustrated essay about an illustrated medieval
legal manuscript.
"The Illustrations of the Sachsenspiegel: A Medieval German Law
Book", is by Guillermo F. Margadant, Mexico’s leading legal historian.
Margadant guides the reader through the striking and unusual visual symbols used
to illustrate legal points in the Sachsenspiegel, or "Mirror of the
Saxons."
The Sachsenspiegel was originally written in the 13th century and was cited
in German case law until the early 20th century. It covered everything from
legal procedure to feudal law and family law.
The publication includes 16 illustrations from the Wolfenbuttel
Sachsenspiegel, one of four 14th-century illustrated manuscripts of the law code
which survive. In an essay that is both scholarly and entertaining, Margadant
shows how the illustrations and the text are intimately related, and how they
provide a window on society and politics in medieval Germany.
The author, a Professor Emeritus at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma
de México, was a visiting professor at the
University of Texas School of Law for over a decade. "Professor Margadant
has been both an active user and a generous supporter of our Law Library for
many years," said Professor Roy M. Mersky, director of the Jamail Center
for Legal Research. "As a result, I’m delighted that our Legal History
Series begins with a publication of his."
Margadant is the author of the standard textbook on Mexican legal history,
now in its 12th edition, and is an internationally recognized authority on
Mexican, Spanish, Roman, canon, and Japanese law. Two Mexican presidents have
honored him for his professional and academic accomplishments.
The Tarlton Law Library Legal History Series plans to publish a wide range of
texts, including historical essays, oral history interviews, annotated
bibliographies, and unique documents.
"If there is a common thread between Professor Margadant’s essay and
those that follow in this series, it is to show the importance of libraries and
archives for legal history," said Mersky. "I hope the series will
inspire others to explore the rich sources of our legal heritage, and to share
the riches with others through their writings."
"The Illustrations of the Sachsenspiegel" is published in an
edition of 500 copies. Copies may be purchased for $15 via the Jamail Center’s
publications website, at <http://www.law.utexas.edu/pubs/order.htm>, or by
contacting the Publications Coordinator (Publications Coordinator, Jamail Center
for Legal Research, University of Texas School of Law, 727 East 26th St.,
Austin, TX 78705-3224; phone 512/471-7726; fax 512/471-0243).
An insider’s look at one of America’s greatest Supreme Court justices has
been published by the Jamail Center for Legal Research, University of Texas at
Austin, as the second volume in its Tarlton Law Library Legal History Series.
"Inside Justice Hugo L. Black: The Letters", is by John P. Frank,
who began his distinguished legal career as Justice Black’s law clerk in 1942.
Frank drew on his file of 25 years’ correspondence with Justice Black, and his
notes on their conversations over the years.
Justice Black’s son, Hugo L. Black, Jr., said in his foreword to
"Inside Justice Black" that "This little collection shows the
trust and respect of each for the character and intellect and learning of the
other -- the kind of trust and respect that sparks unreserved dialogues for
truth."
Justice Hugo L. Black was one of the most influential jurists of the 20th
century, and has a place on almost any list of the all-time top ten Supreme
Court Justices. He is best remembered for his defense of civil liberties.
"Much of our Constitution today is Black’s constitution," writes
Frank.
Based on their conversations and letters, Frank paints an intimate portrait
of Justice Black the family man, the mentor, the jurist, and the civil
libertarian. Frank describes Black’s relationships with his colleagues on the
Supreme Court, including the "feud" between Black and Justice Robert
A. Jackson that allegedly arose when Jackson was passed over for the Chief
Justiceship in 1946.
John P. Frank has been named several times as one of the 100 most influential
lawyers in America by the National Law Journal. A noted attorney and scholar, he
has authored a dozen books on constitutional law and legal history, and has
taught in the law schools at Indiana University and Yale. He assisted the NAACP
in Brown v. Board of Education and was the lead attorney in the landmark Miranda
v. Arizona case.
The editor of the Tarlton Law Library Legal History Series is Michael
Widener, Archivist/Rare Books Librarian at the Jamail Center for Legal Research.
The publication can be ordered via the Jamail Center’s publications
website, at <http://www.law.utexas.edu/pubs/order.htm>, or by contacting
the Publications Coordinator (Publications Coordinator, Jamail Center for Legal
Research, University of Texas School of Law, 727 East 26th St., Austin, TX
