The Twenty-First British Legal History Conference

The School of Law has been invited to host the next British Legal History Conference at the University of Glasgow in July 2013. This will be the 21st meeting of this international conference, held every two years and only once before at Glasgow in 1989.

The timing of the conference will coincide with the tercentenary of the foundation in 1713 of the Regius Chair of Civil Law at Glasgow by Queen Anne, this being the first chair of law to be created at Glasgow since the demise of the University's Faculty of Canon Law in the early sixteenth century, and marking the beginning of the modern tradition of law teaching in the university.

The conference theme is Law and Authority.  The Call for Papers is open until 31 August 2012.
