Academic Membership

What is the Institute?

An independent legal research institute with charitable status, unaffiliated to any university, the Institute is the only body of its sort in the UK. The Institute creates a diverse community of scholars and practitioners and serves as an unrivalled focal point for its substantial membership base. Institute members include judges, practising lawyers, regulators, government officials, international civil servants, academics and students. Its focus is on Comparative Law, Competition Law, European Law, Human Rights Law, and Investment Treaty Law, Public International Law and Private International Law.

The Institute is registered with the Law Society, the Bar for CPD hours, which can be claimed from the majority of its events. They receive discounted rates at The Montague on The Gardens hotel, London WC1 and Goodenough Club, London WC1.
