About the Toulson Law Lecture
The University of Surrey School of Law is honoured to host the annual Toulson Law Lecture in memory of Lord Roger Toulson, a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Surrey School of Law. Lord Toulson was notable for his superlative career at the Bar and on the bench. He was one of Britain’s foremost lawyers, and an intellectual leader within the Supreme Court.
He excelled in more than one area of the law and was well regarded for his work in criminal law, which had a major influence at the Law Commission, and in the senior courts in England and Wales. He published influential works in a number of areas including the law of complicity and the law of confidentiality. More generally, he was a defender of the importance of common law development, in the interests of human rights and dignity.
Now in it's 6th year, the Toulson Law Lecture has been given by distinguished Justices including Lord Neuberger, Baroness Hale and the Rt Hon Lord Burrows.
