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

Call for papers for the Easter Term 2026

We are currently accepting papers presented to the discussion group for the Easter Term 2026. If you would like to present your paper to our group, please send an abstract no longer than 500 words before 20 April 2026 to our email: cambridgeltdg@gmail.com

If your submission is accepted, we will send an invitation to arrange the presentation time and preferred format, either hybrid (in-person session will be held in the Law Faculty) or online. In addition, we ask the presenter to prepare a full draft paper (up to 15000 words) and send it to us a week before the presentation so we can arrange a commentator.
