The history of the academic study of family law in British universities is very much rooted in LSE Law School, which led the way in introducing the subject – then called ‘the law of domestic relations’ – on the LLB programme after the Second World War. The law school has a strong history of critical and comparative scholarship in the field of family law and the undergraduate course is a lively and popular option among second and third year students.
