Rose article published by Tarlton Law Library
<p>An article by Professor <a href="http://www.law.asu.edu/Apps/Faculty/Faculty.aspx?individual_id=72">Jona… Rose</a>, "Musing on Clio: Why Study the Past, History, and Legal History," is the latest publication in the Tarlton Law Library Legal History Series at the University of Texas School of Law.</p><separator></separator><p>The work is based on an earlier Fifth Annual Rare Book Lecture, "Musing on Clio and Legal History: Some Whys & Whats," delivered in February 2009 by Rose, a Willard H. Pedrick Distinguished Research Scholar at the College of Law.</p><separator></separator><p>In the article, Rose discusses his own interest in legal history, using his individual experience as a scholar to explore the field itself. He notes the existence of two broad groups pursuing the study of legal history -- scholars trained as historians, with an interest in law, and scholars trained in law, with an interest in history. Drawing on the most recent writing on the field, Rose scrutinizes the literature and historical trends in the legal history, considers the evolution of the field in the university setting, and discusses regional variations. He observes that scholars' approach to legal history is somewhat dependent upon their original training, regional differences, and the period in which they wrote.</p><separator></separator><p>To read more about the article, click <a href="http://blogs.utexas.edu/Tarlton-library-news/tag/rare-books/">here</a>… spending most of his career focusing on antitrust, regulation and legal ethics, Rose changed direction.
