Virtual Early Career Legal History Workshop

The American Society for Legal History (ASLH) Early Career (Virtual) Legal History Workshop is designed to provide support and intellectual community to early career scholars working in legal history, broadly defined. Applications are invited from early career scholars, publishing in English, who have completed PhDs or JDs (those working toward a JD/PhD must have completed the PhD), and are working on their first major monograph or research project. The committee will select seven (7) Fellows for the 2025-26 workshop. The workshop will be limited to the Fellows and Faculty Chairs and will meet once monthly via Zoom from September through April (no meeting in November because of the Annual Meeting) giving each fellow an opportunity to share work-in-progress with the group for discussion and feedback. The 2025-26 Early Career LHW will be chaired by distinguished faculty from Princeton University and University of Oregon. Fellows must commit to participate for the full academic year. The workshop encourages applications from scholars with expertise in all chronological periods and geographical fields, both within and outside the United States, as well as from those who may not yet identify as legal historians.
