Biography

Lindsay Farmer joined the School of Law in 1999. He studied law at the University of Edinburgh before doing an M.Phil. in Criminology at the University of Cambridge and a Ph.D. at the European University Institute in Florence. He has previously held teaching posts at the University of Strathclyde, and at Birkbeck College, University of London, where he helped establish a new LLB course. He has spent time as a visiting professor at the Center for Law and Society in the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Toronto, Columbia University, New York and the University of Sydney.

His books include Making the Modern Criminal Law. Criminalization and Civil Order (Oxford 2016); Criminal Law, Tradition and Legal Order. Crime and the Genius of Scots Law 1747 to the Present (Cambridge 1997); (with A. Duff, S. Marshall & V. Tadros) The Trial on Trial. Vol.III Towards a Normative Theory of the Criminal Trial (Hart Publishing 2007); and (with S Veitch & E Christodoulidis), Jurisprudence. Themes and Concepts (2nd ed) (Routledge, 2012).

He has recently been awarded a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship (2019-2022) to work on a project entitled "Rethinking the Relation between Criminal Law and Markets". This will explore aspects of the relationship between criminal law and markets over the modern period to ask when, if at all, it is appropriate to use the criminal law to regulate markets and what sort of financial or economic conduct can justifiably be criminalised.

Lindsay was Editor-in-Chief of the journal New Criminal Law Review between 2008 and 2012. He is on the editorial boards of Social & Legal Studies, Criminal Law and Philosophy, Law and Humanities, and Law, Culture and the Humanities. In 2019 he was elected as a Fellow of the British Academy. In 2021 Professor Farmer was appointed as Vice-President (Publications and Conferences) to the British Academy, taking up the role in summer 2022.

Criminal law and legal theory, particularly critical criminal law. History of criminal law (especially post-1800). Development of theories of responsibility (post-1800). Development of the criminal trial and its relation to substantive law. Theories of the criminal trial. Law and social theory.
