Sweden shares with the UK a strong commitment to  representative democracy. It also is widely perceived to have an enviable human rights record. The Swedish Parliament has historically acted as the primary guardian of fundamental rights, while the courts have played at best a secondary role in this context. Professors Cameron and Bull will explore how this constitutional arrangement has shaped judicial culture in Sweden, and how the impact of European law is altering the status quo.

The Faculty of Laws at UCL has a world-class reputation for research, and has been rated by the UK government in the highest categories for both research and teaching.

We value research not only in contributing to the quality of our teaching and the supervision we give our students, but also in its contribution to the development of law and its influence on legal practice and public policy.

The Faculty was ranked 2nd in the UK by The Times Good University Guide (subject table: Law) in 2008. UCL is ranked 4th in the World University rankings.
