“The Old Story of a New Law? Chicago Husband-Killers and their Exonerations, 1867-1930”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Please register for this event at: http:\/\/events.carleton.ca\/chet-mitchell-memorial-lecture-with-marianne-constable\/ <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Marianne Constable discusses “Chicago Husband-Killing and the New Unwritten Law,” a study in history, law, and rhetoric that explores the cases of the 250+ women who killed their partners in Chicago between 1867 and 1931. Even before women were allowed on juries and contrary to much received wisdom, all-male coroner’s juries, grand juries and petit juries of the period exonerated most wives who killed their husbands, according to what newspapers dubbed “the new unwritten law.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ the Speaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

She is author of The Law of the Other: The Mixed Jury and Changing Conceptions of Citizenship, Law and Knowledge (winner of the Law & Society Association J.
