About the Centre
The Centre for Ethics & Law has been established to reflect the growing need for enhanced collaboration between academics, practicing lawyers and industry, given the fast changing and increasingly interdisciplinary nature of the global issues lying at the intersection between law and ethics. The work of the Centre is resolutely multi-disciplinary and practice-oriented, focusing on three broad themes: professional ethics, ethics of risk and distributive justice. The Centre will be launched on 21 October 2009.
The members of our management committee have practical and academic experience. In addition,
we are assisted by an advisory committee, consisting of judges, practitioners
and members of law and ethics institutions and key corporate sponsors.
