Edinburgh Centre for Private Law
The Edinburgh Centre for Private Law (ECPL), founded in 2009, exists to foster and develop a long tradition of private law scholarship at the University of Edinburgh. Building on Edinburgh’s position as a major university within Europe’s main mixed jurisdiction, much of the research carried out by its members examines Scots law in a European context or fosters a dialogue between the civilian tradition and the common law.
The research interests of ECPL members cover all the main areas of private law including contract, delict, unjustified enrichment, agency, property, succession, trusts, insolvency, labour law and family law.
The Edinburgh Law School has an extensive and lively postgraduate community studying for the degrees of LLM (both taught and by research) and PhD.
The Edinburgh Centre for Private Law organises and supports a number of events.
The WA Wilson Memorial Lectures commemorate WA (Bill) Wilson (1928-1994) who taught law at the University of Edinburgh from 1960 until his death in 1994 at the age of 65. From 1972 onwards he was the Lord President Reid Professor of Law.
