Legal History Insights is a blog about legal history, created by the researchers, guests and affiliated researchers of the department of Historical Regimes of Normativity at the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory.

But the blog is not primarily about the results of the research that the department carries out. It is meant to provide a window into the extra activities, works-in-progress and personal research experiences of the people working in and with our department. A behind-the-scenes look into who we are and what we do.

Legal History Insights was also established to share our thoughts in a way that is open and relatable. We believe that the communication of scientific research is an extremely important endeavour and, by providing insights from our work in an accessible way, we hope to foster discussions which bring diverse voices to the table.
