Cambridge Law Club

The Cambridge Law Club (which first existed in the Victorian period) was revived in its modern form in 2014, through the initiative of Professor Dame Sarah Worthington and others. For any questions about the Cambridge Law Club, please contact the current convenor, Professor Jonathan Morgan (jem44@cam.ac.uk).

These events provide an opportunity for Cambridge law academics and the judiciary to meet and discuss current legal issues. Events are run with an academic speaker and judicial commentator leading the evening’s discussion. A list of speakers to date (with an interruption for the Covid-19 pandemic):
