Law

Our Law list responds to the most challenging and pressing legal questions facing us today: from the role of law in human rights to access to justice; from the environment to technology; and from politics to culture. Our interdisciplinary range of textbooks, practical guides, reference books, research monographs and edited collections of essays hold a critical lens up to the legal systems in place and the role of law in our global society.

We are interested in work that takes a comparative, historical, interdisciplinary or socio-legal approach to the law to critically examine how law interacts with society, politics, technology and culture.

We are actively commissioning books in:

• Criminal law and justice
• Environmental law and justice
• Family law and justice
• Law, sexuality and gender
• Law and language
• International Private Law
• Jurisprudence and philosophy of law: check out our Encounters in Law and Philosophy series
• Legal history
• Law and technology: check our agenda-setting Future Law series
• Law and the humanities: check out our Edinburgh Critical Studies in Law, Literature and the Humanities and the new Edinburgh Studies in Law, Justice and the Visual  series
