Hale Institute Lecture Series: Introduction

This multi-part lecture series on Matthew Hale, who lived from 1609 to 1676, will examine his life, his biography and the memory of him as a jurist, philosopher and theologian.

 

The first part will be focused on his life and his education, and the second lecture will be focused on its historical context. The third lecture will present a primer on the common law tradition generally, and the fourth lecture and thereafter will move into Hale's thought and jurisprudence.
