JHIL 1/25 is a very special issue in more ways than one:

In Jan. 2025, Anne Peters passed on her position as JHIL's editor-in-chief to @raphaelschaefer.de & Inge Van Hulle. With their co-authored editorial, they initiate the beginning of JHIL's new chapter.

If the legal ideas of Mesopotamia’s Early Dynastic period were represented by a song, what song would it be?

Seth Richardson’s pick was Bob Dylan’s “Seven Curses.”: youtu.be/Kp2kQSEnVwE
