Professor Donahue


Catalog Number: 42200A 1/S

M., W. at 11, Tue. at 10:40. Offered concurrently, but with a separate section, in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

An introduction to the history of law and legal institutions in England from the Anglo-Saxons to the seventeenth century. The principal focus will be on the development of private law. No previous background in English legal history will be assumed. A short paper is required and the exam is correspondingly shorter.
