The 21st Symposion of the International Society for Greek and Hellenistic Legal History took
place in Tel Aviv on September 20-23 2017. Sixteen papers were presented and respondents
opened the discussion after each paper. The papers and responses to the following issues are
collected in this volume: archaic Greek law law of classical Athens epigraphic and literary
evidence of legal practice from other poleis of Hellenistic and Roman times as well as legal
papyrus documents. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Joseph Mélèze Modrzejewski
co-founder of the Symposion and its co-organizer since 1971. The meeting fosters on an
international level the cooperation of legal historians with those studying all aspects of
Classical Antiquity allowing the participants a free choice of topics from their current areas
of research.
