Work-in Progress

We organise ad hoc WiP sessions at which members of the staff and postgraduate community present their work-in-progress to obtain feedback from their peers. Our work in progress sessions are pre-read.

If you would like us to organise a WiP session to discuss your work then please contact the  convenors of the LTRG, Joaquín Reyes and Richard Latta, at convenor.legaltheory@ed.ac.uk.
