Professor of Comparative Law (Oxford)
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 6 min
The Professorship of Comparative Law is a chair in law at the University of Oxford. The current holder of the chair is Lionel Smith.
The chair was founded as the Professorship of Comparative Law in 1948 and was the first chair of comparative law created in the United Kingdom.[1] The chair is linked with a Professorial Fellowship at Brasenose College, Oxford.[2] In 2013, the chair was renamed from Professorship of Comparative Law to Linklaters Professorship of Comparative Law "in recognition of Linklaters' support for Law in Oxford".[3] After the funding arrangement expired at the end of 2017, the chair reverted to its original name on 1 January 2018.[4]
