On Monday 6 February 2023 Professor Campbell McLachlan KC delivered the Goodhart Lecture at the Faculty of Law on the topic 'The legal science of the international'.

Professor Campbell McLachlan is the 2022-23 Arthur Goodhart Visiting Professor of Legal Science in the University of Cambridge and a visiting fellow of Trinity Hall. He is Professor of Law at Victoria University of Wellington; a member of the Institut de Droit International and of the Permanent Court of Arbitration; and an associate member of Essex Court Chambers, London.
