Oxford's Professor of Jurisprudence, John Gardner, to take up Senior Research Fellowship at All Souls College

The Professorship in Jurisprudence, at University College, is the one previously held by H.L.A. Hart; to take up the Senior Research Fellowship at All Souls, Professor Gardner--perhaps best-known for his work in philosophy of criminal law, though he has written widely in legal and moral philosophy--will have to resign that post.   There is one other statutory Chair in jurisprudence at Oxford--the Professorship in the Philosophy of Law at Balliol held by Leslie Green--and Timothy Endicott, also at Balliol, holds a Personal Chair as well.  So this will present an opportunity for Oxford to make another senior appointment in the field.
