Richard II: Shakespeare’s Legal Brief

Richard II: Shakespeare’s Legal Brief

This paper, produced as a term paper in an independent study course in law school, was published in the Georgetown Law Journal in 1982.  To my great pleasure, other scholars still cite it from time to time.  Let me again thank my supervisor, Professor Alice Brumbaugh, Emerita of the University of Maryland School of Law, for shepherding this one-of-a-kind project through.
