John Hudson, Professor of Legal History, University of St. Andrews
5pm Tuesday 14 February
Location: Examination Schools
This lecture explores the ways in which deliberate legal change came to have unintended effects, especially on substantive law. It considers the interplay of legal learning, legal reasoning, and legal change. In so doing, it ponders Sir Henry Maine's view of substantive law being secreted in the interstices of procedure.
All are welcome.
