Ten new research students join the Centre

2022 has seen the arrival of a strong cohort of new students studying a wide range of exciting topics. Unusually, the majority have legal backgrounds, but their projects all centre on empirical research and the CSLS seminars on socio-legal theory and methods have already generated some lively debate.

We look forward to seeing how their projects develop over the coming years.
