As part of her new role, Prof. Jill Marshall will co-host an event with the IALS, chaired by its Director, Prof. Carl Stychin, as part of the Being Human Festival on 11 November 2021 to engage the public with her research in Colombia. IALS is a member-institute of the Festival leader, the School of Advanced Study, in the University of London.
The Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS) supports Fellows, appointed and reviewed on an annual basis, through its Research Committee and Advisory Council, in the following categories: Senior Associate Research, Associate Research and Visiting Fellowships, as well as coordinating the stipendiary Inns of Courts Fellowship.
IALS Fellows support the Institute by offering intellectual leadership and helping to raise the Institute’s research profile nationally and internationally. They help the Institute reach its research promotion and facilitation objectives and widen the scope of the Institute’s expertise by drawing on the wider legal research community. Due to the Institute’s position at the crossroads of research and practice, Fellows play an important role in representing the Institute’s public engagement role.
As mentioned above, as part of her new role Prof. Jill Marshall will co-host an event with the IALS, chaired by its Director, Prof. Carl Stychin, as part of the Being Human Festival on 11 November 2021.

The role of IALS is to conduct research; to promote and facilitate, within London and nationally and internationally, research and scholarship at an advanced level across the whole field of law; to disseminate the results of such research and scholarship; and to provide to all those undertaking research in law a library facility with up-to-date technology, that is international in character and standing.
IALS is a postgraduate research institute with a core of researchers, research students and legal information professionals, but which draws its primary membership from academic researchers and postgraduate research students from other institutions throughout the UK, and which also provides services to researchers in the wider legal community.
IALS Library is a national and international resource for legal research and has over 288,000 volumes the majority of which are housed at the Institute site on Russell Square in Bloomsbury. The collections of foreign and international law are the most extensive in the UK and contain much unique material. The collections concentrate primarily on common law, civil law and Roman-Dutch law systems throughout the world and include material in western European languages for all jurisdictions for comparative and general reference purposes.
