Law as a System of Values

Abstract

It is an honour to give this year’s Jan Grodecki lecture. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Professor Grodecki but I know that he was a courageous man, a highly respected scholar and a much loved teacher. I am also pleased to see that he was an Honorary Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn, which is also my Inn. Professor Grodecki was a firm believer in the view that the academic study of law should be rooted in other disciplines such as the social sciences.
