Every year during the Spring term we hold the Legal Theory Festival, which is the flagship event of the Centre. The Legal Theory Festival includes the Jurisprudence Annual Lecture and comprises a series of thematic workshops, book symposiums, and roundtables organised by staff and students of the University of Edinburgh.

We organize a series of roundtables exploring nascent fields of inquiry, often located at intersections between traditional legal theory and other academic disciplines. The exploratory nature of the roundtables is reflected on their format. They are not structured around a paper (the traditional form of our ongoing seminar series) but rather revolve around three short reflections (10-15 min) on the theme of each roundtable, delivered orally by three guests, and followed by discussion between the other participants.
