The Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) hosts an annual public lecture in honour of Lord Mackenzie-Stuart, the first British Judge to be President of the Court of Justice. Among the eminent scholars of European legal studies invited to give the lecture are Professor Joseph Weiler, former Judge David Edwards of the European Court of Justice, and Advocate-General Francis Jacobs of the European Court of Justice.

The texts of the Mackenzie-Stuart Lectures are published in the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies.

The 2011 Mackenzie-Stuart Lecture was delivered by Professor Alan Dashwood on Friday 11th March 2011, and was entitled '40 Years an EU Lawyer - Apologia pro vita sua (40 Years and Still Motoring)'. In the lecture, Professor Dashwood looked back at his experience of the development of the European Union and it's legal framework over his 40 year career.
