History of Duke Law School website now available

Do you know when the Law School was located on East Campus? Have you ever wondered who inspired the annual Justin Miller Award? A new feature on the Law School web site has the answers to these and many more questions.

“The Quest of Knowledge of the Law”: A History of Duke Law School is now available at http://www.law.duke.edu/history/index . The site features an illustrated timeline of the Law School’s founding and growth, a biographical history of the Law School deans, and references for further reading.

Foreign & International Law Librarian Katherine Topulos (who also coordinates the Law Library’s Rare Book collection) compiled the site content from the Law School archives, the University Archives, and other historical resources on campus. The site was brought to life through the efforts of the Law School’s Web Services Team.
