Current Legal Research Topics Database - MPhil/PhD students

The Institute of Advanced Legal Studies collates information on current MPhil / PhD research from institutions across the UK, and stores it in the CLRT database. This can be a useful way of finding out if there are others researching in a similar area to your own, giving you the chance to get in touch with them and expand your academic network. 
The team at IALS rely on current research students getting in touch with them, so if you'd like the details of your research added, then please contact them via https://ials.sas.ac.uk/clrt-current-legal-research-topics-database.
