Reply #9: Cool! Why not consider some Latin American legal history?

[struggle4progress]

History of law looks like fascinating stuff to me: for a while, for fun, I was reading old early English legal texts, reprinted by the Seldon society -- one could find old opinions that called "William the Conquerer" by the less-than-flattering title "William the Bastard," or long and convoluted cases about whether so-and-so was actually serf or freeman, with so-and-so saying his family had dwelt in such-and-such a city since before anyone could remember, whilst various alleged relatives testified that so-and-so had fled the land to which he was bound only a few years earlier

Land law, criminal law, human rights law -- there must be all manner of wonderful Latin American options
