The 2014 Cummins Grant Scholar

This semester, GW Law welcomes Aniceto Masferrer, Professor of Legal History and Comparative Law at the University of Valencia, who received the 2014 Cummins Grant. Established by Richard and Diane Cummins in 2011, the grant provides a stipend to support short-term historical research using special collections at GW's Jacob Burns Law Library, which is noted for its continental historical legal collections. Professor Masferrer currently serves as President of the European Society for Comparative Legal History and will conduct research on the comparative development of criminal law.
