The Library holds three exhibitions a year. Our current exhibition, The Evolution of the Law Report, will run throughout February-May 2024.
The Evolution of the Law Report
Introducing our new exhibition: The Evolution of the Law Report.
Using examples of law reporting from the Library collections, this exhibition explores how this important document has evolved over the centuries to arrive at its current form. From Plea Rolls to Year Books, manuscripts to nominates, to digitisation and beyond, learn how this document has changed alongside the evoloving legal landscape.
The exhibition will run until May 2024 and can be viewed during the Library’s opening hours.
