Jonathan Rose

Professor Jonathan Rose, a Willard H. Pedrick Distinguished Research Scholar at the College of Law, is spending July at the University of Cambridge as a visiting member of the Faculty of Law and in-residence as a life member of Clare Hall.

Rose also will present his paper, “Advocatorum Militia: The Chivalric Ethos of the Legal Profession—Loyalty and Honor,” at the British Legal History Conference, July 13-16, at the University of Cambridge.

After spending most of his career focusing on antitrust, regulation and legal ethics, Rose changed direction. His primary scholarly interests now involve medieval and early modern English legal history, and his research focuses on the history and regulation of the legal profession and the operation of the medieval legal system. Rose has also written on early defamation law, medieval prisons, and the historiography of legal history. He is a Faculty Fellow in the College of Law’s Center for Law, Science & Innovation.
