Guest Editorial: Law, Gender and Sexuality

In this Guest Editorial for a special issue of Legal Information Management, Jon Sims (Content Specialist: Law and Socio-Legal Studies, The British Library) summaries the aims and outputs of a national socio-legal training day on legal biography organised by the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, the British Library and the Socio-Legal Studies Association and held at IALS in May 2014. The special issue of Legal Information Management features a series of articles on the theme of sources and methods in socio-legal research on law, gender and sexuality. As with last year’s issue on legal biography (LIM Vol.14 No.1) the articles published here are based on talks given at a national training day held at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS) in May 2014, and co-organised by IALS, the Socio-Legal Studies Association (SLSA) and the British Library.
