Between April 7 and 9 the Socio-Legal Studies Association will hold its annual conference in Leicester at De Montfort University. There is a full programme.My colleague Andy Boon and I have organized the Lawyers and Legal Profession stream. We have two sessions which should prove interesting. I will be chairing and acting as discussant for both sessions.
