The broader approach to law was evident in the subjects offered in schools between the two world wars, which were both conventional and innovative. On the one hand, there was commercial law, international law, English property law, general principles of contract law, tort law and criminal law (combined), the legal system and constitutional law. But there was also the philosophy of international law, civilization and the growth of law, principles and practice of justice in England. Some of them were offered by other departments of the school (just as the legal department taught non-law students). Beginning in the 1920s, W. A. Robson, the leading force behind a new field of administrative law, did so as a lecturer, lecturer, and eventually professor of public administration. Hersch Lauterpacht, later a judge at the International Court of Justice, was first appointed to the Department of International Relations in 1927 before moving to the Legal Department with his subjects of international law. It was from the fifties that the legal service really took on its full meaning. The student body has grown. In the twenties and thirties, the numbers had rarely exceeded the low double-digit figures.

By the late 1940s, there were over a hundred LLB students; In the early 1950s, one hundred and fifty (about ten percent women). The LLM, which had begun on a small scale in the interwar period, attracted a larger number. There were occasionally PhD students. The school`s contextual approach has been consolidated. This broader approach to jurisprudence had benefited from the influx of German Jewish jurists in the 1930s. Among them was Otto Kahn-Freund, who started as a lecturer in 1936 and spent nearly thirty years at school. He is credited with establishing labour law as a discipline in its own right in Canada, but he has also done much to promote family law as a legal discipline. The appointment of Hermann Mannheim as lecturer and then lecturer in criminology – there was no equivalent position elsewhere in Britain at the time – but not in the Faculty of Law, laid the foundation for a discipline that flourished both at the Faculty of Law and elsewhere in the school (from 1990 in the centre of Mannheim). In the 1930s, the law school had four professors, two readers and four lecturers – the largest law school at the University of London. David Hughes Parry had come from Aberystwyth in 1924 as a lecturer and became Professor of English Law in 1930, a position he held until 1959.

He became the driving force behind jurisprudence in the school and had built a powerful department by the 1950s. Theo Chorley succeeded Gutteridge as the Cassel Chair in 1930 and became the founding editor of the Modern Law Review in 1937, which remains firmly rooted in the school to this day. The manifesto of the Review, presented in the first pages, was that, while the study of the technical aspects of law remained indispensable, the law could not be isolated from the present social conditions in which it operated. Arnold McNair and Robert Jennings, both future presidents of the International Court of Justice, taught at the school. Jim Gower`s inaugural lecture in 1949 as Professor Cassel was a blow to what he called relative complacency in English legal education, but also an argument in favour of the LSE tradition in LLB education – legal principles to be taught in the context of their history and underlying aims. Gower established corporate law as a subject worth studying academically in his Principles of Modern Company Law, which are still published today under the direction of a future Kassel professor, Paul Davies, and another former member of the legal department, Sarah Worthington. This is also the case with Smith`s Judicial Review in its seventh edition in 2016, which was first published in 1959 under the title Judicial Review of Administrative Action and is based on an LSE doctoral thesis. De Smith had succeeded Glanville Williams (by a margin) as professor of public law, although Williams was better known for his scholarship in criminal law and tort than in public law. Smith`s pioneering work continued the school`s strong tradition in public law. Laura oversees the department`s LLM and MSc programs. She is responsible for implementing the school`s policies and procedures regarding the department`s curricula and coordinating information about the legal education program for colleagues at the school.

Laura chairs the LSE Law Education Committee and leads teaching projects and exams, such as the TLAC exam. Laura is the ministry`s contact for new course and program proposals. The Foundations of Anglo-American Corporate Fiduciary Law examines the doctrinal prehistory of American and British corporate fiduciary law – the obligations that the law imposes on directors – and shows how understanding these histories fosters a reassessment of the nature, quality, and production processes of contemporary corporate law in both jurisdictions. The study examines the evolution of American and British corporate trust law from 1703 to the present. It provides a legal etymology of corporate trust law – an account of the origins of the concepts and ideas that provide the raw materials of modern corporate fiduciary law, such as rationality and fairness tests, gross negligence and skills suited to ordinary care – and a historical legal genealogy or topography – the excavation of a map of the path of these ideas from their origins to the present day. By digging into these historical legal maps, the book also attempts to explain why these American and British legal routes were taken and why other available routes were not seen or excluded. It is the juxtaposition of British and American prehistory that makes this research possible, because although today the fiduciary duties imposed by corporate law on directors of American and British companies are very different, the two jurisdictions began in the same place, aligning themselves with the same sources of English, non-corporate, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century law. This juxtaposition allows us to identify the true drivers of legal development and corporate divergence in the US and UK, and to challenge contemporary representations of legal production and corporate change.
