This program will look back at an early period during which the Wisconsin Law School was a national leader in developing interdisciplinary legal studies, or law in action, and how this perspective resulted in dramatic revisions to some traditional law school classroom courses.

The two-hour program includes:

• Emeritus Professor William Clune speaking on his new paper, "Legal Realist Innovation in the Wisconsin Law School Curriculum 1950-1970: Four Influential Introductory Courses." 
• Professor Hendrik Hartog of Princeton University discussing Professor Willard Hurst's creation of the American Legal History course and subsequent developments in the field, with comments by Associate Professor Mitra Sharafi. Professor Hartog taught Hurst's American Legal History course at Wisconsin Law School in the 1980s.
• Emeritus Law Professor Malcolm Feeley of the University of California, Berkeley, discurring the impact of the reinvention of the traditional Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure courses by Professors Frank Remington and Herman Goldstein, with comments by Associate Professor Cecelia Klingele. Professor Feeley was member of the faculty at the University of Wisconsin in the 1970s and 1980s, where he taught and did research in the area of criminal justice.

The program begins at noon and lasts two hours, with an opportunity for audience participation during the last thirty minutes. Lunch will be provided, and CLE credits are available.
