The research group for legal culture focuses on the historical development of law, as well as the challenges that arise due to the increasing internationalisation of law. The group's research consists of two main dimensions, legal history and comparative law, and is therefore interdisciplinary. By using law as a cultural phenomenon as the starting point, the two dimensions are linked together. The object of the research group is to create a forum for interesting discussions across disciplines, fields and cultures, in which national and international ties make up an important part, as well as collaborations with the research groups in Tromsø, Kristiandsand, Oslo and Great Britain (BACL).
The research group is lead by Professor Sören Koch and Postdoctoral Fellow Brage Thunestvedt Hatløy.
