The Professorship of Law (1973) is a vacant senior professorship in law at the University of Cambridge.[3] It is not linked to any particular field of law, and its most recent holder was the English legal comparativist, John Bell.[4] Bell now holds the title Emeritus Professor of Law (1973).[5]
Its holders are chosen based on an outstanding teaching and research record of international stature in their field of scholarship, their commitment to building a leading research presence, the ability to further the academic planning and strategic development of law at the university, the ability to work with other teachers and students, and their enthusiasm towards training the next generation of researchers.[6]
