"Jewels of the Collection: Treasures of the Riesenfeld Rare Books Research Center," showcases the depth of the Arthur C. Pulling Rare Books Collection. This centerpiece of the Library's special collections features more than 35,000 volumes printed between the fifteenth century and today. The new exhibit introduces the treasures found in the Riesenfeld Center and highlights its diverse strengths. The items reflect a historical legal legacy that is both national and global in its scope.

 

The ALI traveling exhibit commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the American Law Institute (ALI) and the contributions of Law School faculty to ALI’s important work. Founded in 1923, the American Law Institute has aimed to reduce the uncertainty and complexity of American law and to improve the administration of justice through its publications, including Restatements, Principles and Model Acts and Laws. These have provided clarity and guidance for judges, lawyers, and legislators across many fields of American law. The exhibit documents a selection of contributions of Law School faculty to ALI projects.

 

The exhibit, "Jewels of the Collection: Treasures of the Riesenfeld Rare Books Research Center," was curated by Ryan Greenwood and Joy Brown.
