Â鶹¹ÙÍø Law School hosted the third annual Interdisciplinary Legal Studies Colloquium at the Â鶹¹ÙÍø System Office in Boston in March. The colloquium brings together faculty from across the Â鶹¹ÙÍø campuses from different disciplines, colleges, and schools, all working on research projects that touch on law and legal studies. Faculty are able to workshop presentations, exchange ideas with colleagues in an informal setting, and network to form new collaborations.
Presenters from Â鶹¹ÙÍø Law included Professors Margaret Drew, Richard J. Peltz-Steele, and Christyne J. Vachon. Professor Jeremiah Ho moderated a panel, and Dean Eric Mitnick attended the program, interacted with presenters, and welcomed participants over lunch. The program was devised and coordinated by the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Law Faculty Development Committee, which comprises Professors Ho, Peltz-Steele, and Vachon, as well as Professor Julie Baker, Associate Dean Spencer Clough, and Assistant Dean Misty Peltz-Steele.
