The Public Policy Papers held within the Princeton University Library has embarked on a project to document the Critical Legal Studies (CLS) movement. These records represent the beginning of an initiative to collect material such as correspondence, memos, newsletters, meeting programs, posters, and other materials that document the emergence, growth, and activities of the movement in order to make them available for research.

Records include schedules of the annual Conference on CLS between 1977 and 1988, as well as the crit conference The Politics of Class in 1995; reading material for conferences; bound issues of the CLS newsletter published in Buffalo; and copies of papers written by CLS participants such as Gary Bellow, Gerald Frug, Alan Hyde, Duncan Kennedy, Al Katz, and Gary Young. The initial donation was received from Jay Feinman, and the records contain some of Feinman's remarks and material for organizing the seventh Conference on CLS at Rutgers University. A subsequent donation contains David Trubek's correspondence relating to CLS, and a donation from Peter Gabel contains photographs Gabel took at the CLS conference at the New College of California Law School in January, 1990.
