Welcome to the home page of H-LAW, a Humanities Social Sciences Online discussion network sponsored by the American Society for Legal History. H-LAW solicits discussion of issues relating to teaching and research in the history of all legal traditions: common-law, civil-law, and all other legal systems.
ASLH publishes Law & History Review through the Cambridge University Press. The journal is available online via the History Cooperative and JSTOR.
**Hello H-Law subscribers: The Lemelson Center especially welcomes projects that explore the history of patent law or the broader ecosystem of individuals that support inventors, such as IP attorneys and venture capitalists. Thanks!
