We are deeply saddened by the passing of Professor William Twining, a pioneering scholar in jurisprudence and social-legal studies. Professor Twining was a founding editor of our Law in Context series, and published several key titles in the series, including 'How to Do Things with Rules', 'Globalisation & Legal Theory', and 'General Jurisprudence'. Learn more about Professor Twining by enjoying free access to his legal memoir 'Jurist in Context' until the end of the year: cup.org/3KR3QM4

Known for his defiant optimism, Albie will share personal experience of overcoming adversity and finally, will offer a few anecdotal memories of his time at the @ICwS_SAS. This event is presented in partnership with @IALS_law and @Warburg_News.
