PhD Studentship in Legal History: The Court of Chancery and its Records,
1820-1888
The Law Department at Queen Mary, University of London is offering a three
year PhD Studentship to study the Court of Chancery and its Records in the
era of nineteenth century reform (1820-88). The aim of the project, which
will be jointly supervised by Prof. Michael Lobban in the Law Department and
Dr. Amanda Bevan at The National Archives, is to explore the structure,
working and business of the court in the era in which Charles Dickens wrote
Bleak House. The student will be given in-depth training in the court
records at The National Archives, as well as general academic supervision at
Queen Mary. The studentship is fully funded, providing an annual maintenance
grant and covering payment of tuition fees at home/EU or overseas rates.
Applicants who hold a postgraduate degree in law or history are welcome to
apply, but must meet the School of Law's PhD programme academic entrance
criteria (in terms of the required marks or grades).
The studentship is for entry in January 2013. The deadline for applications
is Monday 12 November 2012.
Any informal inquiries about the studentship can be directed to Michael
