Law Student Notes from the 1940s

April 12, 2011 · Hannah Miller

Available in Special Collections is the George W. Peterson Papers. This collection of class notes and course materials comes from the note pad of George W. Peterson (L’ 1942).  His notes detail classes such as Civil Procedure, Common Law Actions, Equity and Real Property II from before WWII.  His was a time without computers, a time when note taking captured the essence of legal learning.  George Peterson’s collection opens a unique window into the 1940s student experience at Georgetown Law.  To learn more about this collection, please see the George W. Peterson Papers web page.  You can also come by Special Collections (Williams Library, 2nd Floor, Room 210) to view the collection in person.
