Event description: 

Throughout its history, legal education has both shaped legal literature and been shaped by it. Drawing on the rich holdings of the Lillian Goldman Law Library’s Rare Book Collection, this exhibition shows how the content and design of early law books were employed by both teachers and students. The examples span 15 centuries of legal education in England, Europe, and North America.
