Christopher Records is a fourth year
History major and Classical Studies
minor. He has taken classes and engaged
in research on Roman law since his
freshman year, and has remained
interested since then in the relationship
of the law to Roman culture and society.
He intends to pursue a law degree in the
near future, and to eventually practice
public interest law or teach legal history.
