Research seminars
Kingston Law School research seminars
Kingston Law School research seminars enable the School’s academic staff to exchange ideas and research findings, to test research papers and receive helpful feedback, and to give us the opportunity to hear from guest speakers. Attendees from outside the University are welcome. Lunch is not provided; please bring your own lunch with you if you wish to.
