Keele Law School has a long-standing reputation for research excellence in legal doctrine and theory, social-legal studies and legal humanities, which was recognised by a 5*A rating in RAE2001 and 50% of work submitted to RAE2008 being rated as world-leading or internationally excellent. There are longstanding areas of research strength (e.g. Gender, Sexuality, & Law), while encouraging newer innovative research clusters (e.g. Globalisation & International Law, Legal Education & Professional Practice and Law and Popular Culture)
Research within Law at Keele is carried out under the auspices of the Centre for Law, Ethics and Society (CLES) part of the Research Institute for Social Sciences. CLES largely consists of scholars from all parts of the School – those teaching and researching in Law and those from the Centre for Professional Ethics at Keele (PEAK). The staff webpage on the Law website also provides more detail about individual and collaborative research taking place in Law at Keele.
The centre consists of four major research groups (below). The Centre also provides a supportive environment for individuals pursuing research outside these groupings.
Additionally members of the School are involved in the cross-Faculty Alternative Globalisations Forum.
