person they are nominating would be a worthy recipient of the
prize. The prize is funded by a private sponsor.

York Law School was extremely pleased to welcome over 350
delegates to the annual conference at the end of March. The
report in the newsletter this time last year on the Leicester
conference noted how chilly it was. I think those attending this
yearโs conference can safely say we outdid Leicester in relation
to the chill in the air. Nonetheless a number of hardy
conference goers joined York postgraduate student Richard
Hedlund for a walk around some of the historic city walls in
advance of the conference.
We were very pleased to welcome our plenary speaker
Baroness Hale, who engaged a packed audience with her talk
entitled โShould judges be socio-legal scholars?โ While her initial
response to her own question was โno, of course notโ, there was,
of course, a much more reflective, entertaining and nuanced
answer which followed on from this โshort and easy answerโ.
The full address is now available on the SLSA website:
wwww.slsa.ac.uk/content/view/179/166.
One innovative feature this year was our first postgraduate
poster competition. This attracted a good entry of over 15
posters. The winning poster by Rachel Cahill OโCallaghan,
entitled โPersonal values: an important element in the diversity
debateโ, is also available on the website along with a number of
the other posters. Another highlight of the conference was the
dinner at the National Railway Museum โ a fascinating venue
which proved a hit with the delegates. As we sat amongst the
railway engines, Rosemary Hunter proudly presented the SLSA
Prize for Contributions to the Socio-legal Community to Phil
Thomas. Despite the fact that Phil had almost lost his voice, his
entertaining response showed why he is such a valued member
of the community.
With thanks to all the staff at York Law School who helped
to make the conference a success, particularly Jed Meers who
dealt with all the queries from delegates, exhibitors and indeed
other York staff with aplomb. Caroline Hunter

The Department of Law at Robert Gordon University (RGU)
Aberdeen is looking forward to welcoming the SLSA annual
conference on 9โ11โ Aprilโ 2014. We have grown enormously
over the last few years and there are now over 30 academics and
over 800 students from all over the world. We therefore have a
very lively and diverse community of students and staff. The
coming academic year will be particularly exciting for us as our
riverside campus at Garthdee, Aberdeen, will double in size
with the opening of a new building and a brand new library.
Also in September 2013 the law department will be formally
relaunched as the Law School. We are planning a series of
symposia and workshops to celebrate and to encourage links
between the Law School and the wider community. It is
therefore particularly appropriate that towards the end of this
exciting year we will welcome the socio-legal community to
RGU for the SLSA annual conference. Watch this space and our
web site wwww.rgu.ac.uk/areas-of-study/subjects/law for
more information about the conference.
