About Us

The Legal Research Society was set up in October 2006 by a group of research students at the University of Aberdeen’s Law School. The founding committee members were Derek Fincham, Gerd Koehler, Jernej Letnar Cernic, Justin Borg Barthet, Ole Windahl Pedersen and Yona Marinova.

There have been sets of committee members for the Society over the years.

The LSR's activities focus mainly on postgraduate research students in law but we are open to anyone else who is interested in participating.
You can download our free leaflet containing useful information about the LSR.

LSR events and activities include:

• symposia where students and staff get to make presentations work to colleagues and get valuable feedback in an open and friendly environment

• occasional film nights and discussions linked to the legal and political topics raised in the films viewed
