Publisher's Synopsis
Legal history is fun. With these three words, the varied reading book, which is designed with color illustrated photos, can be summed up in a nutshell. The university remains a realm of intellectual freedom, and a small special discipline like legal history still has its own special magic. Sometimes it is important to speak such simple truths. In order to reach outsiders, you not only need exciting content, but above all people who stand up for it. There are over a hundred here. They all share a passion for their subject. Not only professors have their say. Undergraduates are involved as well as graduate students. Historians and archivists give their own testimony, as do lawyers, judges and a publisher's employee. One discovers a basketball pro who is prevented from doing so, a visitor to a cemetery, passionate researchers or dedicated friends of his homeland. One contributor is completely honest and writes why he is not doing legal history.
