The first deposit of records was received from Professor Twining 1995 and 1997 as part of the Records of Legal Education project. These papers related the Law in Context series, Laws In London project and the review of the University of London LLM course, as well as papers relating to the Committee of Heads of University Law Schools, the Commonwealth Legal Education Association, the Society of Public Teachers of the Law (later SLS) and of the Commonwealth Legal Records Project. In March 2013, a second deposit of records was made via Professor Fiona Cownie who sorted, appraised and identified the material, prior to its transfer to IALS.
Records relating to Prof Twining's work for specific professional bodies and to research projects, predominantly focussed on the areas of the history of legal education and the teaching of legal education.
During the Records of Legal Education project (1994-1998), records created or obtained by Prof Twining as an officer of a the Committee of Heads of University Law Schools, the Commonwealth Legal Education Association, the Society of Public Teachers of the Law (later SLS) and of the Commonwealth Legal Records Project were transferred to the collections held at IALS and catalogued as part of these collections (see Related Material below). This practice has been discontinued and the material deposited at IALS after this period has been catalogued as part of the Prof Twining collection.
In addition, obvious duplicates have been deaccessioned and material not related to legal education or Professor Twining's career. For specific appraisal decisions please see under the relevant series descriptions.
Further accruals are expected.
There was no discernible original order across the successive deposits of material. Therefore, in order to give an overview of career and research interests and to support future accruals, the material has been sorted into three broad series relating to general academic career (TWIN/01), organisations and boards on which Prof Twining sat (TWIN/02); and research work (TWIN/03). Third party articles and publications deposited have been retained as (TWIN/04). Within these series, the material has been sorted chronologically in order to give a sense of chronological development.
