Osgoode Society Legal History Workshop Fall 2020 schedule

Friends. I have pasted in below the final schedule for the legal history workshop for the fall term. A reminder that we will be conducting the workshop over Zoom. I don’t think we need to December 9th date, but if anybody is keen an extra session could be arranged for December
