A conference exploring the legacy of Charles McCurdy, a prominent legal history professor who recently retired, will feature scholars discussing his work and cutting-edge topics in the field.  The conference also serves to inaugurate the Charles W. McCurdy Fellowship in Legal History at the Miller Center and School of Law.
 
"During a 40-year career in the Corcoran Department of History and the School of Law, Charles McCurdy has been the intellectual and pedagogical heart of legal history at the University of Virginia," said UVA law professor Risa Goluboff, a legal history scholar who is co-organizing the conference.
 
McCurdy's scholarship earned him the 2003 Order of the Coif Triennial Book Award for “The Anti-Rent Era in New York Law and Politics, 1839-1865.” His teaching has earned him not only official recognition, but also claim to having directed or advised more than 200 doctoral dissertations, master’s theses and undergraduate theses.
