Research

UCL Laws is rated the top law school for research quality in the UK (REF 2021). We believe research should make a difference; a difference to thinking about law, to the practice of law, and to the administration of justice. Our scholarship draws on theory, doctrine and social science, and is truly interdisciplinary and global in nature.
