THE SOCIETY
The Society for Court Studies was founded in London in September 1995 with the aim of stimulating and co-ordinating the study of courts from 1400 to the present. Membership is open to interested scholars and students from any country and to those from related disciplines (for example military history, art history or music history). Seminars are held three times a term in central London and the Society organises two conferences a year in the UK. If you wish to join the Society, please contact The Membership Administrator, The Society for Court Studies, BM Box 2067, London WC1N 3XX, UK or e-mail: admin@courtstudies.org
In September 1998 the Society was established in North America, where it has a separate programme of seminars and conferences. Contact: The Society for Court Studies, Professor Malcolm Smuts, 247 South Main Street, Sharon, MA 02067, USA or e-mail: northamerica@courtstudies.org.
