Branches

The Society for Court Studies has established branches in mainland Europe and North America as a means of extending the impact, presence, and support of the Society to scholars and academic communities across the world. The branches of the Society operate under the aegis of the Executive Committee, with the primary operations residing solely with the executive branch in the UK. The Society’s branches serve as a first point of contact for scholars and organisations within the branch’s geographical reach wanting to organise SCS-sanctioned academic events; propose collaboration or partnership opportunities; share news and promotional materials of all things related to court studies. The contact information for the sub-committee of specific branches of the Society can be found here.
