Law's Imagined Republic
On April 14, Associate Dean Steven Wilf will be the featured speaker for a Legal History Program at the University of Illinois, College of Law. He will talk about his newest book, Law’s Imagined Republic: Popular Politics and Criminal Justice in Revolutionary America.
A scholar whose research focuses upon intellectual property law, historical jurisprudence, and legal history, Steven Wilf seeks to explore the fundamental ways that the origins of legal processes effect normative outcomes. Among his recent writings are The Law Before the Law (Rowman & Littlefield, 2008), "The Making of the Post-War Paradigm in American Intellectual Property Law," 31 Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts (2008), and "The Invention of Legal Primitivism," 10 Theoretical Inquiries in Law (2009). His most recent book, Law's Imagined Republic, was released by Cambridge University Press in May 2010.
