The College of Law records dates from 1949 to 1997 and consists of three series: Maryknoll Seminary, Lewis University, and NIU College of Law. Series I and II contain information on the Maryknoll Seminary and Lewis University. Maryknoll Seminary provided the building the College of Law was housed in while Lewis University founded the college. The College of Law series is divided into eight subseries: History, Merger, Remodeling; Accreditation Files; Correspondence; Policies, Procedures and Manuals; Faculty Publications and Course Work; Student Government/Student Bar Association; Publications; Photographs; and Law Library. The researcher should note that further documentation regarding the College of Law can be found in William Monat’s papers located in the President’s Office Records (UA 4), and in the David Shapiro Papers (RC 174) in the Regional Collections. Records documenting the transfer to NIU are also located in the IBHE Records (UA 2) and the Board of Trustees Records (UA3).
