Few contemporary scholars have done more in their work to develop
the idea of responsibility than Nicola Lacey. She ranks alongside
thinkers and writers such as HLA Hart and Antony Honore in
developing approaches to understanding responsibility. Like these
authors, the influence of her work has spread beyond academia to
change the perception of responsibility amongst practitioners. Both
Hart and Honore have during their lifetime had volumes dedicated to
their work. This book does the same for Nicola Lacey, marking her
ongoing influence and accomplishments in the common law world
through a collection of essays by leading international scholars
reflecting and interrogating her contribution to understanding
criminal responsibility. Additionally, the book aims to promote the
best legal scholarship on responsibility in the common law world
and inspire the brightest legal scholars through a collection of
essays designed to mark Professor Lacey's ongoing contribution to
the understanding of criminal responsibility. The role of Professor
Lacey's work in this area (as well as others) cannot be overlooked:
her scholarship includes not only a prize-winning biography of HLA
Hart himself but numerous articles and tomes on the subject,
culminating with her most recent work In Search of Criminal
Responsibility: Ideas, Interests, and Institutions (OUP 2016). This
Festschrift, one of few common law publications to pay homage to
the erudition of a female jurist, can be seen as a continuation of
the themes in this book via reflection and interrogation of her
work by leading scholars on the topic. The Festschrift will
therefore not only be a celebration of her work but also an attempt
to take forward intellectual engagement with the topic of
responsibility by continued engagement with her ideas. Each author
brings new ideas to bear on her work, touching upon important
aspects of responsibility that are current in the scholarship:
categorization, frameworks for understanding criminal
responsibility and the relationships between them, women in
criminal law, the history of criminal law, blameworthiness and
ascriptions of responsibility, moral responsibility, the role of
politics and political economy. Nicola Lacey is a School Professor
of Law, Gender, and Social Policy. From 1998 to 2010 she held a
Chair in Criminal Law and Legal Theory at the LSE; she returned to
the LSE in 2013 after spending three years as Senior Research
Fellow at All Souls College, and Professor of Criminal Law and
Legal Theory at the University of Oxford. She has held a number of
visiting appointments, most recently at Harvard Law School and the
Australian National University. She is an Honorary Fellow of New
College Oxford and University College Oxford; and a Fellow of the
British Academy. In 2011 she was awarded the Hans Sigrist Prize by
the University of Bern for outstanding scholarship on the function
of the rule of law in late modern societies; and in 2018, an
Honorary Doctorate by the University of Edinburgh. In 2017 she was
awarded a CBE for services to Law, Justice, and Gender Politics.
