Monday 2 July 2007 - Thursday 5 July 2007

Venue: St Catherine's College

Organised by Oxford Law Faculty

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 will be 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’. We plan to have 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 and a booking form will be available closer to the date of the conference.
