A forum for discussing new and original work in legal, moral, and political philosophy

Welcome to the JDG – an informal forum for discussing new and original work in legal, moral, and political philosophy. Since its creation in 1997 by Timothy Endicott, the Discussion Group has been a focal point for graduate students and members of the Faculty interested in jurisprudence, broadly defined.

We meet on Thursday at lunchtime during term time. In 2025-2026 our seminars will begin at 12:30pm and will be followed by a Q&A session. More information about location and speakers for each seminar this coming Michaelmas term can be found in our termcard below.

Anyone may join our mailing list by sending a blank email at jurisprudence-discussion-group-subscribe@maillist.ox.ac.uk. Subscribers receive advance copies of the papers under discussion, but we otherwise keep emails to a minimum.

You can find our term cards and more information about us at: www.oxford-jdg.net.
