'Great and Noble Occupation!'
The History of the Society of Legal Scholars

An interesting examination of the history of The Society of Legal Scholars, created in 1909.

The Society evolved slowly, but the process accelerated in the 1990s, with members encouraged to reinforce their intellectual contribution to the discipline and act as a central point for policy debate within the legal academic community. As we stand at the beginning of the twenty first century, the Society, with nearly 3,000 members, has come a long way from its small beginnings.
