News from the BC Law Rare Book Room

We were pleased to host a visit from Professor Coquillette's Anglo-American Legal History class on March 15. Students browsed early law practice materials ranging from abridgments such as Abridgment of Coke’s Reports by Ireland (London, 1651) to a register of writs, Thesaurus Brevium, or a Collection of Writs (1687 – Latin) to early treatises such as Littleton’s Tenures (1592 Tottel ed. – English).
