The Working Group is looking for new members who are interested in exploring  the relationship between law and popular culture, and the group hopes to facilitate intellectual dialogue, collaborations, publications etc. In particular we are delighted to announce that we have been successful in our application to have a workshop on 'Law and Popular Culture' in Onati, running 8-9 May 2008.

It is hoped to establish a website soon to disseminate material, and a formal call for new members and report on activities will appear in the next issue of the RCSL newsletter, but if there are any queries or questions, or if people want to join the group in the meantime, please contact the Working Group Chair:

Dr Guy Osborn, University of Westminster School of Law, G.Osborn@wmin.ac.uk
