Abstract:
We are delighted to welcome you to the 27th British Legal History Conference which will take place at the University of Nottingham between 1 and 4 July 2026. Trent Building at University of Nottingham viewed through summer green haze plants. This year the conference theme is 'Law and Governance'. This draws upon the longstanding interplay between law and governance, emphasising the ways in which legal systems are shaped by, and in turn shape, structures of authority and power. While law has often been understood as a system of rules or doctrines, its relationship with governance invites a broader exploration into how legal frameworks both reflect and construct political order, societal values, and modes of governance - be they ‘good’ or ‘bad’. The aim is to examine how legal norms, institutions, and practices interact with governing structures across different historical periods and geographic contexts, shedding light on how governance has been understood, contested, and institutionalised through law. More details of the programme and information about registration will be posted here when available.
