This essay traces the history of citation indexes in American law, emphasizing their role in shaping the structure of jurisprudence. Central to this history is the figure of the legal reporter –an unofficial actor responsible for transcribing and publishing judicial decisions. In common law, once a judge has decided a case, it serves as a precedent for other cases involving similar facts or legal issues. The early history of legal reporting shows that reporters treated these decisions as commodities to be produced by transcribing, editing and publishing judges' opinions. Until the mid-nineteenth century, reporters worked in a cottage industry. The rapid expansion of the legal system, however, created an urgent need for efficient access to precedents and spurred the industrialization of legal literature. From their offices in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and New York City, giants such as West Publishing and the Frank Shepard Company not only processed an exponentially growing volume of cases but also shaped the common law into a structured body of knowledge. In this process, authority was transformed into a mere sign. Relying heavily on their libraries and external memories, now organized through all intellectual furnishings and new indexing methods, the rise of the case-lawyer coincides with a new regime of reproduction of the law. By examining the material history of the recording, storage and transmission of legal decisions, this essay explores the unification of case law, the rise of the case lawyer and of legal research in the nineteenth century.

In Public Law in 1987 a seminal article was published by Anthony Lester and Jeffrey Jowell on ‘Beyond Wednesbury: Substantive principles of administrative law’.  The traditional view of public law is that it is concerned with procedure, not substance: how a decision is made rather than the substantive outcome.  That seminal article questioned that view.  This lecture will consider what has happened since 1987, in particular looking at the principles which have developed about legitimate expectations, protection of human rights, equality and conformity with policies.  It will also consider the evolution of “rationality” as a ground of judicial review, with increasing emphasis being placed on the principles of proportionality and reasonableness.

This session situates the field of Gender, Sexuality and Law within its historical, theoretical, and institutional context, using it as a lens through which to reflect on the changing priorities, pressures, and possibilities facing legal education today.

Gender Sexuality and Law emerged in the UK Legal Academy initially in the 1990s, gaining traction in the early part of the twenty-first century and was strongly associated with the socio-legal movement in the UK, USA, Canada, and New Zealand.  In 2026, it's a discipline increasingly matured - with the first English textbook on the subject being published in 2024 (edited by Ashford and Maine) - and now firmly established at the heart of socio-legal studies and with doctrinal contributions also

Discover King Henry VIII’s groundbreaking act and its far-reaching consequences.

The Act of Supremacy of 1534 declared Henry VIII the supreme head of the Church of England, formally rejecting the authority of the Roman Catholic Church. Primarily a political manoeuvre to grant Henry the power to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the act made it treason to support the Pope's authority.

The speakers will discuss ‘Duty to Rescue’, the legal concept that holds people (and possibly states) responsible for helping others in dangerous situations such as people drowning at sea, loss of life as a result of state action/ natural disaster/climate change. The extent of any legal duty, the significance of the behaviour of the victim and the remedies for any breach vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and approaches differ widely. Some states punish failure to attempt rescue by the criminal law, some by the civil law. Others do not accept that there is any legal duty at all.

At a time when legal historians and contemporary public law scholars are increasingly turning to the history of administrative law as a site for productive study, this paper seeks to review the history of error of fact review from the middle of 17th century through to the early part of the 20th century. It will chart developments in the jurisprudence of the Court of King’s Bench when reviewing factual errors under the prerogative writs, especially certiorari and prohibition, and try to identify what really led to modern law’s confusion over error of fact review.

Understanding how environmental laws, and the ideas underlying those laws, spread, diffuse, or proliferate transnationally is a formidable task. This lecture investigates the global spread of environmental law through the frequently unacknowledged use of models, templates, and best practices. Drawing on a case study of the global diffusion of environmental assessment, this work harnesses the power of computer-assisted research techniques and textual similarity analysis to illuminate the spread of legal tools, terminologies, techniques and mindsets. In so doing, it disrupts the narratives of time, space, and authority that have dominated accounts of environmental law’s spread. Ultimately, this work suggests that the ‘quiet’ activities of lawyers and legal scholars may matter rather more than we are comfortable acknowledging.

He has visited Syria mainly to help Camp Roj and Camp Al-Hol prisoners (including Shamima Begum and 60,000 others), while also dealing with Syrian opposition group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), when they imprisoned and tortured some of his clients. Now in power, HTS are facing the consequences of years of civil war. What are the challenges and what can advocates do to help them?

Public and global health law scholarship often explains and promotes what might be distinct about law and legal institutions, as these engage or relate to matters concerning population health. There are analyses, for instance, of legal determinants of (ill) health. And many public and global health law scholars look, in turn, to means of ‘harnessing the power of’ law as a tool to create better, fairer health opportunities and outcomes. An instrumental approach to laws and legal procedures is neither unique to public and global health law nor terribly remarkable in and of itself. Nevertheless, once law is treated as a tool that can be harnessed, important questions emerge about whether, why, and how (if at all) law is special in a way that commands respect. Such questions raise particularly important points in the context of public health functions, responsibilities, and agendas, which find a pre-eminent role for law as a source of authority; as a provider of moral and even constitutional legitimacy.  In this paper, I explore tensions that may be found in two aspects of public and global health law scholarship: first, the practical subjugation of formal concepts of law to empirical concepts of ‘law’ as effective governance; secondly, the philosophical subjugation of the authority of law to the normative authority of ‘health justice’.

Legal practice is fundamentally concerned with managing legal risk. While a strong knowledge of the law is essential, clients are primarily focused on understanding and assessing their risks in order to make informed decisions about whether to act or not to act. This session will explore legal risk in practice and examine how clients approach legal advice and risk management, particularly in the context of global businesses. It will draw on illustrative examples from data protection, cyber, and AI law.

Curious what Intellectual Property (IP) law actually covers? This dynamic session demystifies the rights that protect ideas, brands, creative works and inventions, and why they power modern economies. We’ll shed some light on Creative Industries and IP, where we unpack contracts, licensing, and monetisation across film, music, fashion and games.

To make it concrete (and fun), we’ll test these principles against AI: who owns AI-generated content, how do training datasets intersect with copyright, and what does ‘authorship’ mean when machines compose? You’ll leave with a clear map of patents, trademarks, copyright and designs; and practical case studies, and explore how IP turns ideas into assets.

In this session, we bring together people from diplomacy and law to ask what role law plays in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Specifically, we are interested to understand how those involved in or affected by the conflict see the role of international courts and tribunals, how they perceive their declarations and judgments, and how they use these on the ground. We also tackle the limits of international law - what the law says on paper and what is the reality in practice. We will welcome two wonderful speakers :

The United Kingdom's unprecedented withdrawal from the European Union in 2020 may be regarded as the first example of European 'disintegration'. This moment, however, was preceded by decades of 'disruption' as the UK, Ireland, and Denmark pursued opt-outs from the supranational constitutional order.

Constitutional Disintegration and Disruption: Withdrawal and Opt-Outs from the European Union provides the first comprehensive analysis of these two phenomena.

In the Anthropocene, the fact that human activity is enmeshed with the existence and actions of every kind of other being is inescapable. As a result, the planetary ecological crisis has brought forth an urgent need to rethink understandings of human action. One response holds that the transformations necessary to tackle today’s crises will emerge from the distinctive capacity of human beings to transcend their environment. Another school of thought calls for seeing action as composite, produced by distributed networks of human and nonhuman agents. Yet the first of these is open to charges of human exceptionalism, while the second, according to its critics, lacks effective political traction.

The dominant approach to interpretation of the devolution statutes has been to treat them as ordinary statutes, to be interpreted like any other, rather than as “constitutional statutes”. This lecture will discuss the justifications for the ordinary statutes approach, the problems to which it gives rise, and how these problems may be resolved. It will be argued that the difference between the two approaches is less stark than it may appear. The ordinary statutes approach does make assumptions about the constitutional context in which interpretation takes place, but ones which are relatively insensitive to the specific needs and challenges of effective devolved governance.

Across the UK, efforts to reverse declining biodiversity continue to fall short. This reality has prompted some campaigners to call for the adoption of a Rights of Nature approach. Such a shift would fundamentally change how we protect wildlife by recognising natural entities. A river could be granted the right to flow free of pollution, or a forest the right to naturally regenerate. Comparable approaches already exist elsewhere. Ecuador’s 2008 constitution recognises the Rights of Nature, and in Aotearoa New Zealand the Whanganui River was granted legal personhood in 2017.

What could this approach mean in a country as nature depleted and heavily shaped by human activity as the UK? What role should ecology and ecological science play within this movement? And might strengthening and enforcing existing laws for priority habitats and protected species deliver more immediate benefits?

This lecture uses the HRJL as a case study in the opportunities and risks of transplanting legislation developed in the UK to smaller jurisdictions. Jersey adopted a statutory scheme closely aligned with the UK’s Human Rights Act, aiming to ‘bring rights home’ while preserving local constitutional arrangements. Drawing on post-legislative evaluation work, I will explore what has worked well and what has not: patterns of litigation and access to justice, the quality of rights-checking in lawmaking, and the wider challenge of building durable ‘rights infrastructure’ in a small polity. The aim is to identify practical lessons for policymakers and legislators working across the Crown Dependencies and other smaller jurisdictions.

Plato in the fourth century BCE penned an indelible sequence of constitutional decline ending in tyranny, as well as a more complex set of possibilities for mixing different constitutional kinds. Two centuries later, Polybius portrayed constitutional change as cyclical, with an eventual collapse of democracy into ‘ochlocracy’ (mob rule) and then reversion to monarchy. These and other ancient authors proposed that a mixed constitution might prevent unwanted political change – an idea that would influence many later generations of political thinkers.

An enthusiast of the Roman mixed constitution, Cicero was elected consul and in that role dramatically curbed the tyrannical ambitions of Catiline. He would later become fatally embroiled in the shifting politics of later generations of ambitious strongmen, while also writing his own theories of constitutional change. This lecture explores Cicero’s life and death as a way to articulate the crises of the late republic.

Justice derives its origin, Hume tells us, from the confined generosity of persons and the scanty provision nature has made for our wants. Expanding our understanding of these facts and their relationship to justice, Rawls envisioned these “circumstances of justice” as those conditions under which social cooperation is both possible and necessary. This idea of circumstances has animated others in exploring the relationship between conditions and concepts, including Waldron’s account of the circumstances of politics. The questions I explore all relate to an underdeveloped idea in the philosophy of law: the circumstances of law. Is there a parallel relationship between conditions for and the concept of law? Does reflection on the conditions for law give us reason to favour one or another conception of law? In turn, do different conceptions of law highlight different conditions for law's possibility and necessity? And do we best understand some lasting contributions to jurisprudence, such as HLA Hart's account of the shift from a pre-legal to a legal society, as themselves participating in the idea of law's circumstances?

Speaker: Martin Firrell is a public artist who has gently and consistently sought to humanise the times we live in. He uses the poster form to campaign for greater social equality. His bold and simple texts address LGBT+ equality, the women’s movement, feminism and gender equality; and universal human rights. The artist's aim is 'to make the world more humane'. For more than 25 years, Firrell has hijacked advertising’s means to achieve artistic-activist ends. His co-opting of commercial technique and syntax, together with his sustained and wholesale colonisation of advertising’s oldest and boldest medium, the billboard, makes him one of the most apposite and significant artists of the 21st Century.

This lecture explores the legal lessons Professor Stafford-Smith learned from visiting Afghanistan. He argues critical Western rhetoric betrays the country’s liberal majority (80% of its population and leadership), drawing parallels to U.S. involvement in other drawn-out conflicts. He asks: what positives do we see in Afghanistan? What legal lessons should we learn from it, about how we can best support those who share our values? How can we create a world that upholds individual rights and the rule of law?
