Over at The (most excellent) Conglomerate, check out Christine Hurt's dissection of a paper on The History of Conspiracy by Neal Kumar Katyal which appeared in 2003 in the the Yale Law Journal.

Hurt teases out one interesting detail - the history of conspirators testifying against one another, which was a recognized legal practice as far back as 1130, when it was known as approvement. See....interesting right?

So check it out.

And bookmark The Conglomerate, because you'll want to return there.
