For many years, the Society published a newsletter that began with Society news and a limited number of substantive articles. Over time, the newsletter grew in size and evolved to feature a broad range of substantive historical articles. Beginning with the Fall/Winter 2019 issue, the CSCHS Newsletter has been renamed the CSCHS Review to better reflect the evolving nature of the publication.
To see issues of the CSCHS Newsletter click here or on the CSCHS Newsletter tab above.
The CSCHS Review is a member benefit. State Bar members participating in the dues check off program receive this publication in electronic format.
