Since the foundation of LSE just over a century ago, the study of law has been an integral part of LSE's mission. LSE Law School's unique grounding in the social sciences gives our legal studies a distinctive, interdisciplinary character. LSE Law School has played a major role in policy debates and policy-making and in the education of lawyers and law teachers from around the world. It enjoys a uniquely cosmopolitan student body, and has deeply influenced legal education in most common law countries. Staff and students at LSE Law School come from all over the world, and bring an unparalleled international and interdisciplinary outlook in teaching and research. This has always been our mission. As an important vehicle for this approach to legal studies, members of LSE were prominent among the founders of the Modern Law Review, a journal that quickly achieved an international and influential role at the forefront of legal scholarship. Closely linked to this innovative approach has been the exploration of new fields of study. Many important subjects were first taught and examined systematically from an academic perspective at LSE. These include banking law, taxation law, civil litigation, company law, labour law, family law, aspects of welfare law, and studies of the legal system and the legal profession. These subjects, and many others, have since become central to the concerns of lawyers and researchers.

All Constitutions need to guarantee that fundamental norms will be complied with credibly. Constitutions — especially in the Global South — have accordingly established independent guarantor institutions (Election Commissions, Auditors-General, Human Rights Commissions, anti-corruption watchdogs, etc). This event, part of our series celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Constitution of India, will discuss the conditions in which guarantor institutions can work independently and effectively in South Asia.
