Planning for Future Meetings



The D.C. Area Legal History Roundtable is an informal gathering of scholars who live or work in and around Washington, D.C. It first met in 2006 at George Washington University Law School and later at the law schools of American University and the Catholic University of America.

If you plan to attend the roundtable, please contact specialevents@law.georgetown.edu and indicate whether you will be joining us for lunch. There is no charge for this event.

Street parking is available around the Law Center. Daily garages are also located nearby. Additionally, the Law Center is close to both Union Station and Judiciary Square metro stations.

Any person with disabilities who believes he or she might need a reasonable accommodation to attend the conference should contact the email address above by September 4.

To join our mailing list for future roundtables, please send your name, institutional affiliation, and surface and email addresses to Ms. Tselane-Danielle Holloway at dh232@law.georgetown.edu

Watch this space for a podcast of the Roundtable, to appear sometime after September 19!
