As part of UCL’s bicentennial celebrations, this interview explores the history of the Faculty of Laws through the experiences of leading English legal historian, Professor Sir John Baker, who studied and lectured at the institution in the 1960s and 1970s.

In 2026 Professor Sir John Baker will be President of the Bentham Association. Established in 1949, the Bentham Association was formed to help maintain and strengthen relationships with former students, colleagues and friends of UCL Laws. Over the years, the Association has been led by many distinguished figures, including Lord du Parcq, the first President, as well as Sir David Hughes Parry, Lord Hallisham, Lady Hale and Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury.
