Carol Harlow QC (Hon), FBA (Professor of Public Law, 1989-2002) is currently Emeritus Professor of Law at LSE. She was appointed to the Law School in 1972. Her scholarly work was concentrated in administrative law, with a special interest in government liability. Law and Administration (1984), co-authored with Richard Rawlings, then at LSE, was a seminal book which broke from what was the dominant formalist approach. Pressure through Law (1992), again with Rawlings, was about how groups used law as a means of advancing a social or political agenda. Harlow had a keen interest in French Administrative Law, leading on to Europe more generally. In the mid-1990s, she was a Jean Monnet professor at the European University Institute, resulting in publications about EU public law. She was a member of the Leggatt Committee on Administrative Tribunals (2001) and of the Independent Review of Administrative Law (2020).
