Cambridge Legal Theory Discussion Group (CLTDG)

The CLTDG is a forum for discussing new and original research in legal, moral and political philosophy.

CLTDG meetings take place either in an online or hybrid format to increase the outreach of the Group around the globe. We follow a pre-read meeting structure. The links for the papers and the meetings are circulated via email in advance. CLTDG meetings are open to any member of the University, including visiting students and scholars. Postgraduates and academics from other countries and institutions are also welcome to attend. To get the links for meetings, please subscribe to our mailing list.

We have four meetings each term on a bi-weekly period. We will soon publish our term card for this term.

For any enquiries, you can send an email to cambridgeltdg@gmail.com
