PS Atiyah (1931–2018) was one of the world’s great legal scholars of the twentieth century, best known, perhaps, for the huge contribution he made to the law of contract and the law of torts. In this Legal Biography Project event, Professor James Goudkamp will introduce us to Atiyah's recently published autobiography, which Professor Goudkamp edited. Comments will be provided by Professor Hugh Collins.

Do join us for what promises to be fascinating evening for anyone interested in the study of law, as a student or as an academic.
