American Society for Legal History - Historia Omnium Jurium - History of the Society

The History of the Society Project (HSP) seeks to preserve and provide access to information concerning the history and development of the American Society for Legal History. The resources housed at the site include historical lists of officers, board and committee members, as well as documents generated by the ASLH, and personal histories (both videos and transcripts) of interviews of senior members of the Society. The physical documents generated by the ASLH are preserved at the University of Illinois. The project is sponsored by the University of Houston Law Center.

For questions concerning the History of the Society project and, VERY IMPORTANTLY, to volunteer documents that HSP does not have but needs in order to be more complete, please email Charles Zelden at zelden@nova.edu, co-chair, and Craig Joyce at cjoyce@uh.edu, founding chair of HSP.

For assistance during the construction of this project, Professor Joyce is deeply grateful to his University of Houston Law Center colleague, Robert C. Palmer, Cullen Professor of History and Law, and to the following UHLC graduates: Michele Collins, 2015 and Zachary Schneider, 2013.
