The Rare Books Room and the garden level of the are set to become a haven of pride and revelry on February 28, 2024, as we host the inaugural Lex Libris celebration. This reception is dedicated to honoring the recent book publications of our esteemed 欧美口爆视频 Law faculty.聽
The name "Lex Libris" is more than just an alliterative title; it is a wordplay that encapsulates the essence of our celebration. In Latin, "Lex" translates to law, and "Ex Libris" means "from the books of." The latter is historically used as an inscription on a bookplate to indicate the owner of a book. Blending these terms, we create "Lex Libris," a nod to the legal academy while embracing the tradition of marking ownership within the pages of a book.聽
From 5 鈥� 7 pm on the 28, Lex Libris will bring together faculty, students, alumni, and friends to celebrate and admire the scholarly achievements of our faculty. A selection of hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served. Alumni, faculty, staff, and students are welcome!
