Use of Historians in Litigation and in Public Policy Planning 

For anyone who's interested, it's this Thursday at UMass Boston:

Historians as Experts: The Use of Historians in Litigation and in Public Policy Planning

2:30 p.m., Healey Library, 8th Floor, Provost's Conference Room.

The John W. McCormack Graduate School of Policy Studies and the History Department present Paul Finkelman, professor of Law at the University of Tulsa Law School.

He has written primarily of law and history on topics ranging from the law of slavery, the second amendment, John Peter Zenger, as well as baseball. Professor Finkelman has been a consultant to federal agencies and was an expert witness in two big cases last year: the lawsuit over the ownership of Barry Bonds' 73rd home run ball and suit that forced the removal of a 5,000 pound Ten Commandments monument from the Alabama Supreme Court building.

Light Refreshments will be served. For more information, call 617-287-5550 or email candyce.carragher@umb.edu
