Postgraduate Research Workshop on Comparative Law

About this event
The Edinburgh Law School will host a one-day Postgraduate Research Workshop on Comparative Law on 8th June 2026. The Workshop is designed for students working towards the degree of PhD or LLM by research, in any area of the law, and whose work adopts a comparative approach, or includes a significant comparative law element. In an informal round-table format it will address the objectives of comparative research as well as its methodological challenges. Introductory talks will be included in the programme, but the main focus will be on students giving presentations of their work and receiving feedback from around the table. A sandwich lunch will be provided.

All research students working with comparative law are invited to attend and should register by 24 April 2026 noting their institution and the title of their thesis.

An invitation is further extended to any students who would like to offer a 10-minute presentation to the workshop on issues arising from the comparative aspects of their research. Those presenting will find this to be a valuable opportunity to reflect and to gain feedback from round the table. Students who would be interested in offering a presentation should indicate this on the registration form, and as well as noting their institution and the title of their thesis, they should also submit an abstract of no more than 250 words to be sent to Professor Braun at YWxleGFuZHJhICEgYnJhdW4gfCBlZCAhIGFjICEgdWs= by 24 April 2026.

The event is organised by Professors Alexandra Braun and Elspeth Reid.
