Professor Layard takes up her new role at St Anne’s this term, having previously been Professor of Law at Bristol. She is Vice-chair of the Socio-Legal Studies Association (2019-), is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Law, Property and Society and was on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Law and Society (2010-2020).
