Cambridge Students Explore the Law

Professor Alison Young (Robinson College, Cambridge) tells us about a day in her life as newly appointed Law Commissioner and what the Law Commission does.

Dr Peter Candy (St Catharine's College, Cambridge) tells us about his love story with Roman Law - going from a Literature & History undergraduate degree to a PhD in Roman Law. He shares about his research on Roman Maritime Law, how that compares with modern maritime law, about Roman slavery and society before and after the rise of Christianity.

He also shares why he would not recommend swimming in the River Cam, about his favourite Roman jurist(s?), and a favourite bench in Cambridge.

Professor Findlay Stark (Jesus College, Cambridge) talks everything criminal law, from the substantive to the procedural. He shares what took him from a Scottish solicitors’ firm to going into academia.

Dr Raffael Fasel (Jesus College, Cambridge) speaks about his passion in conceptualising animal rights law, a rapidly evolving field. He also shares about his exciting journey studying the law, spanning Switzerland, the US and the UK.
