Call for Applications. TALS 2027 Academy (online, live) 15-19 February 2027

The Academy in Advanced Legal Research and Method is convened by the Transnational Association of Legal Scholars, a group of faculty experienced in research, supervision, and interested in the conduct and method of research in law.

The Academy provides a short period of intensive training to a carefully selected group of 16 graduate students and early career legal researchers in the legal academic activities of research writing, careful reading, and effective academic communication. The focus will be on method, practical training and the cultivation of an ethos, rather than on providing schematic and critical overviews of different theories and approaches that currently constitute the field of legal research. Studying the membership of TALS will give applicants a sense of the general orientation of the Faculty. The workshop will be wholly online, and live (meaning synchronous, not recorded).

Preference will be given to legal scholars and doctoral students based in Universities in the Global South.
