This scholarship is offered by the Edinburgh Legal Education Trust also known as Edinburgh Trust which was formed in 1996 for the advancement of legal education. The Trustees wish to award a scholarship for study beginning in September 2022. This scholarship opportunity is awarded to students who are seeking to pursue a degree at the Institution.
Choice of topic
Applicants are free, indeed expected, to choose their own topic. The emphasis, however, should be on legal doctrine rather than on, for example, legal theory or socio-legal issues. Historical or comparative perspectives are welcome. A list of possible topics is given in the Appendix below but there are many others. Professor Kenneth Reid ([email protected]) or Professor Andrew Steven ([email protected]), the Scholarship Administrators, would be happy to give informal advice. Examples of the type of work that the Trustees are willing to fund may be found in nine PhD theses now published by the Trust as books:
- Ross Gilbert Anderson, Assignation (2008)
- Andrew J M Steven, Pledge and Lien (2008)
- Craig Anderson, Possession of Corporeal Moveables (2015)
