Law and Order in Ancient Rome and Beyond

Mini-MEMS Lunch and Learns are chances for the professors working with the Medieval and Early Modern Studies minors to informally share their work through a brief presentation and Q and A.  Our first Lunch and Learn of the school year will be led by Dr. Molly Jones-Lewis in Ancient Studies.

Law & Order in Ancient Rome and Beyond

You probably know that Roman Law formed the basis for modern European law, but what was that law like? How do we know what it was, and what can it tell us about law today? This will be a crash course in the way Romans tried to regulate their society with an interactive hypothetical case that we'll work through together. Be prepared for traffic drama, murderous barbers, and sketchy doctors with questionable business models!
