Contextual Lecture: English Law and the Empire
Part of the Contextual Lecture Series: London: The Making of a Global City
This talk aims to be an entertaining and perhaps thought-provoking sketch of English law as a basic ingredient of the British Empire and Commonwealth - with a glance at International law also.
