• The Spring 2013 issue of the Green Bag is out. LHB readers may be particularly interested in G. Edward White's piece on "the ALI's recent history and current challenges." 

• Summer Tips for Visiting Archives from AHA Today.

• The journal is gated and all that’s up on SSRN is an abstract, but be on the lookout for Laura Phillips Sawyer’s study of a landmark in the legal history of free labor, Contested Meanings of Freedom: Workingmen's Wages and the Company Store System, Godcharles v. Wigeman, 1886, which is to appear in the Journal of Gilded Age and Progressive Era (Summer 2013).

• Back in April, Kurt Newman (Ph.D. candidate, University of California, Santa Barbara) wrote a series of posts for the U.S. Intellectual History Blog on “Pragmatism and the Class Politics of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.’s Copyright Jurisprudence.” Check it out here.

• From the Canadian Legal History Blog: an announcement of this year's article and book prize winners from the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History.

The Weekend Roundup is a weekly feature compiled by all the Legal History bloggers.
