Rose to address inaugural legal history conference

Professor Jonathan Rose, a Willard H. Pedrick Distinguished Research Scholar at the College of Law, will lecture at the Inaugural Conference of the European Society for Comparative Legal History, on July 5-6, at the University of Valencia in Spain.

Rose will present a portion of his book chapter, “Advocatorum Militia: The Chivalric Ethos of the Legal Profession – Loyalty and Honor.” It will be published in the upcoming book, Chivalry, Care, and Honor, by Warren T. Reich and Jonathan Riley-Smith

After spending most of his career focusing on antitrust, regulation and legal ethics, Rose changed direction. His primary scholarly interests now involve medieval and early modern English legal history, and his research focuses on the history and regulation of the legal profession and the operation of the medieval legal system. He has also written on early defamation law, medieval prisons, and the historiography of legal history. Rose, who joined the faculty in 1968 and was an Associate Dean from 1987-90, teaches Legal History, Antitrust, Contracts and Legal Ethics, and has received numerous teaching awards. He is a Faculty Fellow in the College’s Center for Law, Science & Innovation, and a Faculty Affiliate of the Arizona Center for Medieval & Renaissance Studies at ASU. Rose also is the author of numerous articles on legal history, antitrust, economic and occupational regulation, and legal ethics.
