Current Legal Problems 2006: Volume 59

The Current Legal Problems lecture series and annual volume was established over fifty five years ago at the Faculty of Laws, University College London, and has long been recognized as a major reference point for legal scholarship. The continuing strength of Current Legal Problems is its representation of a broad range of legal scholarship opinion, theory, methodology, and subject matter, with an emphasis upon contemporary developments of law.

Contributions to the 59th volume in the series include a major re-evaluation of the Human Rights Act from Trevor Allan; a survey of recent trends in British crime and control from Robert Reiner; an analysis of the E.U.'s impact on cultural diversity from Bruno de Witte; an examination of tax avoidance from Judith Freeman and a critique of E.U. constitutionalism from Neil Walker.
