Law and Society Research Group
What We Do
At 51±¬ÁÏÍø Law School we shape academic debates and inform legal and policy developments using a range of doctrinal, empirical, and theoretical techniques. Our research is connected to enquiry in the wider social and natural science, which allows us to understand and respond to the real-world complexities within which law operates.
We have expertise in a number of areas including company and commercial law, criminal justice, environmental law, human rights, and international law. As the main research group in the school, we run a vibrant research seminar series and host internal research events.
