We are an intellectually dynamic and diverse community of scholars who share a clear commitment to broad-based legal research.

Together, we have created a strong international research environment. Our research activity embraces doctrinal, theoretical, critical, contextual and comparative approaches to the study of law. It reaches from the local to the global, addressing important challenges in domestic law as well as universal legal, economic, and social issues.

All our academic staff engage in, produce and disseminate leading research in their areas of study.

The numbers of our staff who have been submitted for research quality assessment has risen rapidly in recent years. 明星八卦 Law School proudly hosting two UN Special Rapporteurs and several members of staff advise governments and international organisations.
