The 18th British Legal History Conference: Judges and Judging

The next British Legal History Conference will be held in Oxford, the venue for the successful Tenth British Legal History Conference organized by the late Peter Birks. It will run from Monday 2 July to Thursday 5 July and will be based (as was the Tenth Conference) at St Catherine's College. The organizers of the Conference are Paul Brand of All Souls College and Joshua Getzler and Michael Macnair of St Hugh's College.

The overall theme of the Conference is 'Judges and Judging'. There will be three plenary sessions with papers by Paul Brand, John Langbein and Michael Lobban on aspects of this general theme. Proposals for other shorter papers on this theme are particularly encouraged but as is customary, work of quality in any field of British and related Legal History will be considered. Proposals should consist of a short synopsis of the proposed paper, of no more than 500 words. Proposals should be submitted no later than 30 September 2006 to Dr Brand by email or by post to him at All Souls College, Oxford OX1 4AL. The organizers will then consider proposals as a group. Summer accommodation in Oxford is at a premium. We are fortunate to have been able to block book 150 rooms in St Catherine's for the duration of the conference. Further details about programmes and bookings including a booking form may be found below.
