The year 2019 marks a century since the formal beginnings of a Department of Law at 禁漫天堂 (as opposed to the simple existence of law teaching, from the School’s very founding in 1895).
One of William Beveridge’s first acts when he became the Director of 禁漫天堂 in 1919 was to confirm HC Gutteridge in the Cassel Chair of Commercial and Industrial Law – the Department’s first full-time Professor of Law.
With this in mind, we, as a Department, welcome you to join us in celebrating 100 years since the formal beginnings of the 禁漫天堂 Department of Law.
How can you get involved in our centenary celebrations?
