SKO is delighted to announce the launch of the SKO Family Law Scholarship at the University of Edinburgh. The scholarship was launched today at the Family Law Academic Network Conference in honour of Professor Eric Clive's distinguished contribution to Scots family law.
The first Family Law Academic Network Scotland conference is a two day event: a lecture was given on the evening of Thursday 14 April by Deputy President of the Supreme Court, the Right Hon. The Baroness Hale of Richmond and then a full day conference will take place today, Friday 15th April. Speakers at the conference from across the UK include Prof Kenneth Norrie of the University of Strathclyde, Profs Jane Mair and Janeen Caruthers of the University of Glasgow, Prof John Eekelaar, formerly of Oxford University and now co-director of OXFLAP, the Hon Lady Wise, Janys Scott QC, Prof Elaine Sutherland of the University of Stirling and Prof Hector MacQueen of the University of Edinburgh.
The purpose of the SKO Scholarship is to enable the next generation to make its contribution to the academic development of Scottish family law which is so valuable to those of us in practice. The Scholarship will be open to applicants accepted on a PhD or LLM by Research programme at the University of Edinburgh in a family law related subject and we look forward to seeing that academic work influence the development and practice of family law in future.
