Details

In keeping with the established reputation of this annual publication, it features contributions from leading figures including Professor Sir Bob Hepple, Professor Michael Dorf, and Professor Sir Hugh Laddie QC.
Covers a broad range of pressing current legal issues, including the legality of war and the international climate change regime.

The Current Legal Problems lecture series and annual volume was established around sixty years ago at the Faculty of Laws, University College London and has long been recognized as a major reference point for legal scholarship.
