The Foundation for Law, Justice and Society was established in Oxford in 2005.
It has three principal objectives:
to study and reflect on the role of law in international, regional, and national affairs;
to identify issues of contemporary interest and importance for detailed study;
to inform policy by making the work of researchers and scholars more accessible to practitioners, whether in government, business, or the law.
• Courts and the Making of Public Policy
• The Social Contract Revisited
• Rule of Law in China: Chinese Law and Business
As the Counter-Terrorism Bill goes before the House of Lords, our conference with the Aspen Institute on July 7-9, 'In Times of Crisis Can We Trust the Courts?' will examine issues of national security and detention without trial.
