The Legal Treasure team (Amanda perry-Kessaris, Lisa Dickson and Sophie Vigneron) organised a Pop-Up Museum Objects theme at the SLSA Annual Conference 2017 in Newcastle.
Commentaries on twelve objects were included, of which nine were presented in person. Each object was currently on both display online, and in publicly accessible collections around the world. Participants will also display a self-made model of their chosen object.
A summary of the event including text and audio-visual material can be found here. The commentaries can be found in the ever-expanding Pop Up Museum of Legal Objects collection and many will appear in an Autumn 2017 special issue of the Northern Ireland Legal Quarterly.
