Introduction

The academic year 2014-15 culminated with the Institute’s anniversary celebrations in late September. From its modest beginnings in 1995 the Institute has seen continuous growth over the past decades. It has established and nurtured numerous links with our continental partners, with regard to both teaching and research. Today, the Institute facilitates many of the Faculty’s research activities in European and comparative law, inter alia by organising the relevant lunchtime Discussion Groups and a raft of international conferences. Its particular focus is on the intersection of European and comparative law. This is particularly visible in the Institute’s book series published by Hart Publishing, the Studies of the Oxford Institute of European and Comparative Law, which will see the publication of its 20th volume later this year. A flavour of the topics that are on our research agenda is conveyed by the list of our most important events during the past academic year on p.28 below. The Institute promotes the Faculty’s teaching agenda by administering its undergraduate exchange programme, the largest of its kind in this country. The ‘Law with Law Studies in Europe’ degree (informally known as ‘Course 2’) sees 35 of our BA students take their third year away from Oxford, spending it at one of our European partner faculties in France, Germany, Italy, Spain or The Netherlands. As announced in last year’s Annual Report, we are currently working on an extension of ‘Course 2’ to two Asian universities. Negotiations with the National University of Singapore are far advanced, and we hope to conclude an exchange agreement with them soon. Closer to home, everyone at the Institute looks forward to the major building works that will transform the St Cross Building. Once completed, the Institute will finally move out of its cramped and dark facilities and occupy a much more appropriate part of the building. Unfortunately, the interim period will be challenging. The Institute was decanted to The Old Rectory behind the Westgate Centre. The move was not without disruptions, and the year that we will spend there will be difficult for everyone involved. Despite these challenges we managed to celebrate the anniversary with a major conference on ‘General Principles of Law in a Comparative and European Context’. The event saw a large number of high profile speakers from the UK, Europe and the United States, and of course Oxford. Yet, the September conference did not only celebrate the past. It also marked an important step towards the Institute’s future. After having been Director of the Institute for eleven years I will step down from the post to take up a new role as Director of the Max Planck Institute of European Legal History in Frankfurt from 1 October onwards.

It has been a privilege to serve in this Faculty office for so many years and I am tremendously grateful to all the Institute’s staff, friends and supporters who have made these eleven years the most interesting and exciting period in my career. I am particularly grateful to Jenny Dix, the Institute’s administrator, for her excellent professional support over all these years. The Institute would not have been able to achieve anything without her hard work. I am delighted that the Faculty has appointed Professor John Cartwright to the Directorship. I could not think of anyone who would be better suited to lead the Institute towards the next 20 years of its existence.

Law with Law Studies in Europe and the European Student Exchange Programme

The Institute continues to be responsible for the Faculty’s four-year BA in ‘Law with Law Studies in Europe’. This essentially is a variant on the regular Oxford law degree that includes an extra year spent at one of Oxford’s partner universities abroad. It is thus also frequently called ‘Law Course 2’. The following options are on offer: • Law and French Law with 15 students per year going to the University of Paris

Panthéon-Assas; • Law and German Law with 12 students going to the Universities of Bonn, Konstanz,

Munich or Regensburg; • Law and Italian Law with two students going to the University of Siena; • Law and Spanish Law with two students going to the University of Pompeu Fabra in

Barcelona; • Law and European Law with four students going to the University of Leiden. The Institute administers the programme, including the provision of preparatory teaching in foreign law and languages and keeping constant contact with the academic directors and the administrators of the exchange programmes in our partner universities. Within this framework, the Institute also provides a focus and support network for the students coming to Oxford from our partner universities under the Erasmus exchange agreements. These students are registered for the one-year Diploma in Legal Studies programme. With 35 incoming and 35 outgoing students per year, Course 2 is the biggest undergraduate exchange programme in the University. Overall, Course 2 remains one of the success stories of the Institute. Its graduates are highly sought after by big law firms which appreciate their linguistic skills, their experience abroad and the teaching they receive in Oxford. A detailed report on Course 2 for 2014-2015 was submitted to the Law Board for its meeting in June 2015 and can be viewed on the Law Faculty intranet.
