New Legal History Course

This fall join Prof. Gilpin and Prof. Isaacson in HISU 2910, Law and US History. This course surveys the history of the United States through legal cases from the revolutionary era to the present day. Through sensational murder trials and major Supreme Court precedents, students will explore the intersections of history and law. HISU 2910 is especially recommended for pre-law students.
