Law – Academic
Our dynamic academic law programme spans a wide range of subject areas and publication formats, founded on the twin pillars of quality and originality, and serving all levels of the global academic market. Our aim is to publish work that interprets and articulates the law, but also work that innovates and challenges the status quo, often comparing systems or drawing lessons from other disciplines.
We're proud to publish monographs that advance our thinking or serve to define a field, concise overviews that introduce new fields of study, and state-of-the-art reference works - such as our acclaimed Research Handbooks, major Encyclopedia, and Commentaries - which provide a strong foundation for study and research.

Research Handbook on Law and Psychology
This Research Handbook presents a kaleidoscopic view of law and psychology as a multidisciplinary field of study and explores major themes at the intersection of these two scholarly traditions. Adopting an expansive approach, it examines important topics including theories of justice, morality, and legitimacy; social norms; system justification theory; and the role of emotion within law.
‘Rebecca Hollander-Blumoff’s Research Handbook has an A-list of contributors both from law and from psychology. The lucidly written chapters harmonize legal precision and scientific rigor. This book clearly demonstrates just how wide-ranging and robust the field of law and psychology has become.’
– John Monahan, University of Virginia School of Law, US

Rethinking Law series
The Rethinking Law series is a forum for innovative scholarly legal writing from across all substantive fields of law. The series aims to enrich the study of law by promoting a cutting-edge approach to legal analysis.
Rethinking Law showcases authored books that address their field from a new angle, expose the weaknesses of existing frameworks, or 're-frame' the topic in some way. This might be through the introduction of a new legal framework, through the integration of perspectives from other fields or even other disciplines, through challenging existing paradigms, or simply through a level of analysis that elevates or sharpens our understanding of a subject.
