CLRT Current Legal Research Topics

This IALS open access database lists subjects of research in progress by students of law in the UK, and is presented for information only. Please note that the research listed is currently underway, and has not yet been completed. Therefore these dissertations are not yet available through libraries or other channels. http://ials.sas.ac.uk/library/clrt/clrt.htm

IALS Law Theses

From 1945 to 2011 a copy of each law PhD thesis from all colleges of the University of London was deposited at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies Library. This arrangement has now ceased and in future each college will keep law theses by its own students with the expectation that they will also be available electronically (through Ethos). At present IALS intends to keep all its collection of theses but this might be reconsidered depending on digitisation of past theses which has so far been done only on a very selective basis.
