Sir David Hughes Parry QC was probably one of the most powerful and
influential Welsh jurists of the twentieth century. As Professor of
English Law at the University of London, he laid the foundations
for the development of the Department of Law at the London School
and Economics into a centre of excellence in legal scholarship. As
founding Director of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, he
created a vehicle that would raise the standing of English legal
scholarship on the global stage. An astute operator in the world of
university politics, he became Vice-Chancellor and, later, Chairman
of the Court of the University of London, and served as
Vice-Chairman of the powerful University Grants Committee. For the
first time, this study provides a holistic account of his career as
a lawyer, legal scholar, university policy-maker and law reformer.
Using a range of primary and secondary sources, it locates his
place in the history of legal scholarship and establishes his
identity as a jurist. It also considers his distinctive and
sometimes controversial contribution to the public life of Wales,
and in particular its language, culture and institutions. The
portrait that emerges is of a man whose energies were divided
equally between his legal-academic interests and his devotion to
serving the causes of his native Wales. This biography demonstrates
that it was through his roles as a public intellectual and legal
advisor to the Welsh nation that Hughes Parry bequeathed his most
important and enduring legacies.
