The Institute of Advanced Legal Studies was founded in 1947, although the idea for a national law library and centre for research was conceived over 50 year before this. Since its foundation, the IALS has developed a library of international standing and has been able to foster and promote legal research not only in Britain but around the world. It performs a unique role in the United Kingdon and the Commonwealth and an increasingly important one in Europe. To commemorate the Institute’s jubilee and the inaurgation of the Society for Advanced Legal Studies, the present Director has assembled a series of papers which not only trace the Institute’s development into an institution for the advancement of legal research of world-class standing, but also illustrate the depth of spport that it enjoys.
