The Centre for English Legal History is holding a symposium and lecture, with dinner afterwards, in memory of Professor SFC Milsom QC FBA (1923-2016), on Friday 18 November 2016.

The symposium will begin at 2 pm in what by then will be the David Williams Building, with papers by Professor Paul Brand, Professor Norman Doe, Dr George Garnett, Professor John Hudson, and Professor Hector MacQueen. The lecture, by Professor David Ibbetson, will follow at 5.15 pm, with a drinks reception afterwards. Dinner will be held at 7.30 pm. There will be no charge for the symposium or lecture.
