Weekend Roundup

• It was a pleasure to see Catherine Fisk, University California Irvine School of Law, workshop some draft chapters from her forthcoming book Authors at Work: Writing for Hire in Twentieth Century Film, Television, and Advertising, in the Law and Public Affairs (LAPA) Seminar at Princeton University last Monday.  Think Dalton Trumbo meets Don Draper! 

• While we're mentioning LAPA events, the program hosts a book talk by Sophia Lee, Penn Law, on The Workplace Constitution from the New Deal to the New Right (Cambridge University Press, 2014) on Monday, October 26, at 12:15, and a workshop presentation by my fellow LAPA Fellow Sherally Munshi on Immigration, Imperialism, and the Legacies of Indian Exclusion.  DRE 

• Welcome to the Blogosphere: The Historical Society of the New York Courts has a blog! 

• Duke U. Observes 100th Birthday of John Hope Franklin: We missed the Oct. 15 lecture by Thomas C. Holt, “John Hope Franklin and the Black Intellectuals of The Greatest Generation,” but other events (including a symposium featuring Harvard's Drew Faust) are upcoming.

 Weekend Roundup is a weekly feature compiled by all the Legal History bloggers.
