Fantastic read. I'm saving the link to share with my "Games & History" class next year.

But Constitutional Law is an academic subject. The problem is that lawyers in general are bad historians, and the current bunch are bad lawyers. (speaking as someone who taught history for 25 years and also has a JD)

What great developments for your students. I appreciate that we have so many records documenting how coroners' work intersected with ordinary lives and everyday places, deeply enriching our awareness of communities and their people.

Coroners fascinate students because they expect that these are "of course" medical professionals. Highlighting the Latin base (corona = crown) can sometimes make for an "ah-hah" moment. I don't recommend charades, though.
