Guide Printed guide with introduction and table of contents. Content note Organized into the following series: I. The letters from Moscow; II. The lecture and seminar notes. Language note Texts chiefly in English, but key terms in Russian. Biographical note Following his graduation from the Harvard Law School in 1934, John N. Hazard decided, at the suggestion of Manly O. Hudson and with the assistance of the Institute of Current World Affairs, to become the first Anglo-American law graduate to pursue the full course of legal studies then being offered in Moscow by the Institute of Soviet Law named P.I. Stuchka (later renamed the Moscow Juridical Institute). And so it was that Hazard found himself in Moscow during the autumn of 1934 studying the Russian language, pursuing first year courses offered in English at the Foreign Workers' Club and being exposed to the basic principles of Soviet Law. In 1939, Hazard returned to visit the Soviet Union and observe some of the changes which had transpired since his graduation. Provenance The collection of letters were originally in the possession of Professor Manley O. Hudson, but were passed onto the Harvard Law School Library in 1954; the lecture and seminar notes, originally in the possession of their author, were transferred to the archives of Columbia University in [1978]. |
