Douglas Ginsburg, ’73, Awarded the Freedom of the City of London
City of London Honors Professor Ginsburg
Hon. Douglas H. Ginsburg was recently given The Freedom of the City of London. A tradition dating back to the 13th century, the Freedom was originally granted to allow members of a guild or livery the right to trade within the city. In more recent times, the City of London Corporation invites individuals who have made a significant impact in their field to "take up the Freedom."
