Call for Applications

Hurst Summer Institute in Legal History: June 9-22, 2019

University of Wisconsin–Madison

Application Deadline: December 3, 2018

The American Society for Legal History and the Institute for Legal Studies at the University of Wisconsin Law School are pleased to invite applications for the tenth biennial Hurst Summer Institute in Legal History. The Hurst Institute assists scholars from law, history, and other disciplines in pursuing research on the legal history of any part of the world. The Hurst Institute fosters an atmosphere of collaboration and collegiality among scholars. A committee appointed by the ASLH reviews applications from early-career faculty members, doctoral students with completed or nearly completed dissertations, and recent J.D. graduates demonstrating interest in an academic career with a focus on legal history, and selects 12 promising scholars as Institute Fellows. The Fellows come to Madison for two weeks in June to participate in daily seminars, meet other legal historians, and analyze and discuss each other’s work. The 2019 Hurst Institute will be led by Mitra Sharafi, Professor of Law and Legal Studies (with History affiliation) at University of Wisconsin–Madison. Please see website for complete information.
