The Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lecture series is published by CUP under the auspices of the Centre.
Clarendon Studies in Criminology
The Institute of Criminology participates in the publication of the Clarendon Studies in Criminology (published by Oxford University Press). This is a joint venture with the criminology centres at Oxford and the London School of Economics, and is a continuation of the former Cambridge Studies in Criminology.
Cambridge editors of the series
- Dr Kyle Treiber
- Professor Loraine Gelsthorpe
- Professor Alison Liebling
Cambridge Studies in English Legal History
The Cambridge Studies in English Legal History, begun in 1921, is published by Cambridge University Press rather than by the Faculty, but has always had a Faculty member as its general editor. 2009 saw the publication of the fifty fifth volume in the series, which includes many classic monographs.
General editor
Professor Sir John Baker
A number of other publications are also, in effect, based in Cambridge, because of the close involvement of Faculty members in their production. For instance, the present and previous Literary Directors of the Selden Society (Professor NG Jones and Professor Sir John Baker) are members of the Faculty.
Cambridge International Law Journal
The Cambridge International Law Journal (CILJ) succeeds the Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law (CJICL) which was established in 2011 by the postgraduate students of the Cambridge University Law Faculty.
The CILJ is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal with a broad focus on international law. The Journal provides a platform for both young and well-established academics to publish outstanding research on cutting-edge, highly topical international law issues alongside, and in dialogue, with each other.
The Journal is published by Edward Elgar Publishing, a leading international academic and professional publisher with a strong focus on the social sciences and legal fields. The CILJ website lists the Editors-in-chief.
