The School of Law and Social Justice has benefited from a number of gifts and endowments over its history, which have aided our students, teaching provision, and research. In relation to endowed chairs, there has been the Queen Victoria Chair in English Law (from 1896 to today) and the Alsop Wilkinson Chair of Law (1992-1993). There has also been the AF Warr Memorial Lectureship in Equity (from 1908).
Over our history, we have also had a number of funded studentships, including the Royal Life Studentship for insurance law (1991-1993) and the Hodgson Studentships (ongoing), which is a studentship for international students to read for postgraduate work at the School of Law and Social Justice.
Throughout the years, there have also been contributions made for academic awards. These have included the CCH Publishers prize (company law), the Conkerton Memorial Fund prize, the Davies Wallis Foyster prize (land), the Inland Revenue prize (equity), the Lace Mawer prize (tax Law), the Royal Bank of Scotland prize (banking law), the Sweet & Maxwell Ltd prize and the Weightman Rutherfords Prize (tort).
To celebrate our 130-year anniversary, we are seeking to develop new partnerships in the city of Liverpool and beyond as we move forward towards the next 130 years of law teaching and research at the University of Liverpool. It is our ambition to found an Anniversary Studentship or an Anniversary post in law.
If you are interested in creating a partnership with the School of Law and Social Justice, then please do get in contact. In addition to our Anniversary partnerships, we are also interested in developing partnerships for placements, endowments, and broader research and knowledge exchange connections.
Please contact Dr. John Tribe (j.tribe@liverpool.ac.uk) to discuss potential partnerships and areas of development, including the Anniversary Studentship and Post.
