Slaw's Scavenger Hunt - after a weekend, the Bod rocks

Two days into the Scavenger Hunt, we’re experiencing a tussle between a reader in Oxford, who has access to the wealth of resources in the Bodleian Law Library. He leapt into the lead with 128 points.

A lawyer from Toronto is close behind with 115 points. And the librarians who started so well are behind at 53 and 46 points.

They’ve successfully identified twenty-eight dates listed here, as well as giving us some food for thought with their own nominations for what should be in the legal heritage of mankind.

We have readers who have successfully identified the following dates, but haven’t picked up the extra five points for telling us where they are physically or on the web:

624 - Tang Code
1190 - The Mishnah Torah or Ethical Conduct by Moses Maimonides

Get Googling!

For those who want to use their research skills to compete, here is the revised table - can you guess any of the dates?

Send your entries (on one item or any number) by email to contest@slaw.ca and we'll track the winners.
