The Selden Society is the only learned society and publisher devoted entirely to English legal history.
This includes the history of the law, the development of legal ideas, the legal profession, the courts and legal institutions, individual judges and lawyers, legal literature and records; in short, researching the history of everything which is characteristic of our unique English common law and legal system.
Our 2024 Annual Report is now available on our Web pages. The Annual General Meeting of the Society will be held at Gray’s Inn on 30 June. At the end of the meeting Professor Joshua Tate will give a lecture on ‘The King’s Pirates: Medieval Privileges of the Cinque Ports.’
Members wishing to attend should contact the Secretary.
