# Bruno Leoni at 101 

The Italian law scholar Bruno Leoni was a champion of law over legislation. In his classic *Freedom and the Law* (1961), he presented the case for organic legal systems that adjust to human behavior and against legal systems that attempt to adjust human behavior to fit the needs and desires of the politically powerful. It’s a message still urgently needed today. Please join us for a discussion of Leoni’s contributions to classical liberal thought as we celebrate his 101st birthday.
