The Law Library's fall semester 1999 exhibit
"highlights several connections between the legal world and the world of the theatre.
Included are materials on legal costume, courtroom dramas, and theater regulation. The
main portion of the exhibit illustrates the role of the English Inns of Court in the
development of early modern drama. Also prominent is the display on law
"follies", the comedic revues of law societies. The exhibit is composed of
photographic reproductions of rare book and manuscript materials from Tarlton Law
Library's Rare Books & Special Collections as well as the Harry Ransom Humanities
Research Center's Library and Theatre Arts Collection. The exhibit is open to the public
in the Law School Atrium and will be on view from September 20, 1999 to January 3,
2000. For additional information, contact the exhibit's curator, Stephanie Swenson Towery,
