Overview

The Current Legal Problems lecture series and annual volume was established over fifty five years ago at the Faculty of Laws, University College London and has long been recognised as a major reference point for legal scholarship. The continuing strength of Current Legal Problems is its representation of a broad range of legal scholarship opinion, theory, methodology, and subject matter, with an emphasis upon contemporary developments of law. Contributions to the 60th volume in the series include an analysis of the legal protection of the elderly by Jonathan Herring, a critique of the use of Government procurement to pursue social ends by Chris McCrudden, an analysis of the legal status of control orders by Lucia Zedner, and essays on developments in constitutional law and theory by Martin Loughlin, Gavin Phillipson and Rodney Austin.
