Description
Harvard Law School awards this annual fellowship to help an emerging legal historian complete a major piece of writing while preparing for an academic career in the field. Legal history is defined broadly: projects are not restricted by geographical area or time period. The fellow is expected to devote the majority of their time to their own research and writing.
The fellow also participates in the Harvard Law School Legal History Workshop, a semester-long seminar offered for credit, and assists with occasional other legal history sessions. Harvard faculty affiliated with the Program in Law and History direct these activities.
