Private Law and Values, York

Description

The Private Law and Values group at York Law School works to develop new methodologies to better understand and model the values implicit in private law, trace how private law has responded to social challenges at different points of time in its history, and develop the framework for a new and more socially grounded jurisprudence of private law. It includes research on contract, tort, property, trusts, commercial and corporate law, financial regulation and intellectual property. Its researchers draw on historical, doctrinal and theoretical approaches to understand how legal rules evolve and how they shape economic and social life.
