The Law Faculty is also proud to be associated
with various interdisciplinary Research Centres,
in which members of the Law Faculty are active participants.
The
Oxford Centre for Ethics and Philosophy of Law
was established in 2002 with funds provided by Corpus Christi College,
Merton College, and University College. It aims to bring together
scholars working in the neighbouring fields of moral and legal philosophy,
and in particular to bring distinguished academic visitors to Oxford.

The Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict (ELAC) ,
founded in 2008 with the support of the James Martin 21st Century School,
is an interdisciplinary research programme that aims to strengthen law, norms
and institutions to restrain, regulate and prevent armed conflict. Drawing
on the disciplines of philosophy, law and international relations, the Institute
seeks to develop a more sophisticated framework of rules and stronger forms
of international authority relating to armed conflict. Research activity addresses
all aspects of armed conflict, including the recourse to war, the conduct of
war, and post-conflict governance, transition and reconstruction.

The Extra-Legal Governance Institute (EXLEGI) based in the Department
of Sociology, promotes the study of the governance
of economic activity under conditions in which legal protection is ineffective
or absent - either because the state is incapable or, as in the case of illicit
deals and markets, intent on repressing such activity.
EXLEGI draws its intellectual resources from a variety of units
within the Social Science Division -
including economics, law, and politics and international relations.

The
Oxford Internet Institute, founded in 2001 with the support
of the Shirley Foundation, aims to become the world's leading multi-disciplinary
academic centre focused on furthering understanding of the economic,
political, institutional, scientific, legal and other social factors
shaping the Internet and its implications for society.
