Welsh Legal History Society (Cymdeithas Hanes Cyfraith Cymru)

Active

Description

The Welsh Legal History Society exists to spread knowledge of, and promote research into, the history of law in Wales. That history extends from a medieval indigenous legal system to the application of law within Wales in more modern times. The Society also addresses the work of lawyers and commentators with Welsh connections. Its historical interests cover the doctrinal history of the law alongside the contextual study of law in the society in which it operates. The Society holds lectures and conferences, and publishes annual volumes included in the subscription rate. It also maintains an online archive of legal-historical source material in facsimile and transcription.
