Get Involved

We welcome anyone with an interest in socio-legal studies to attend or present their research. Whether you are an established scholar or just beginning your academic journey, you are invited to join us for rigorous debate and intellectual exploration of the key intersections between law and society.

Termly Discussion Schedule

The Socio-Legal Discussion Group meets during Michaelmas, Hilary, and Trinity Terms, with sessions typically taking place in Weeks 1, 3, 5, and 8 of each term. Discussions are held on Thursdays from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm in Seminar Room B, Manor Road Building. The programme of speakers and presentation topics for each term will be published here once confirmed.

In the meantime, you can explore previous discussion programmes by visiting our archive.
