Research at Durham Law School

Our Research Groups act as enablers of intellectual innovation in both current and future research. Every member of the Law School is a member of one or more groups, enabling individuals to trial ideas and build research collaborations, with researchers and stakeholders both within and beyond Durham.

Research Groups

Our Research Groups run an active and vibrant programme of international conferences, seminars and workshops, make submissions to consultations, co-ordinate and support bids for funding, host visiting academics and play a leading role in integrating our post-graduate research students into the life of the Law School.
