What do Barbados, a dead fox, salt water, angry hunters, wax, tradition and subterranean furry creatures have in common? Our free presentation on Wednesday, July 8th at 7pm will answer this riddle by exploring one of the best examples of the genius of the American Common Law system---the work of the Pennsylvania courts in developing new law to accommodate the birth of the oil industry. The discussion will focus primarily on four of the earliest oil cases to challenge Pennsylvania courts and will explore the jurisprudential impact those cases have had upon American law.
