During academic year 2012/2013, Jeremy Waldron continued work on human dignity, institutional political theory, and jurisprudence, publishing twelve articles, most notably How Law Protects Dignity (Cambridge Law Journal), Separation of Powers (Boston College Law Review), and Stare Decisis and the Rule of Law (Michigan Law Review). He also delivered a number of public lectures, including; Jurisprudence for Hedgehogs (on the last phase of the late Ronald Dworkin’s philosophy of law) at Queen’s University Law School, in Kingston, Ontario; and Dirtying One's Hands by Working with Others, at Office and Responsibility: A Symposium in Honor of Dennis Thompson, at Harvard University.

Nicola Lacey has continued her research on ideas of responsibility for crime and on the comparative political economy of criminalisation and punishment. She published several papers and a co-authored paper with David Soskice on American Exceptionalism in Crime and Punishment. She is working on two papers with Hanna Pickard on the theory and practice of punishment. She delivered lectures at Harvard, Duke, Cornell, Boston University and Boston College, and the annual lecture of Jurisprudence, now published. In April she held a visiting professorship at Harvard Law School. She is a co-author of the British Academy’s forthcoming report on Prisons.

Andrew Burrows was a Senior Research Fellow at All Souls before taking up his appointment as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in June 2020. He is the first person to have been appointed direct from academia to the highest court in the UK. His major projects at college included the novel idea of restating areas of English law in which he was assisted by an advisory group of academics, judges and practitioners. This led to the publication by OUP of A Restatement of the English Law of Unjust Enrichment and A Restatement of the English Law of Contract. In addition to producing new editions of his works on English private law (including a fourth edition of Remedies for Torts, Breach of Contract and Equitable Wrongs) and publishing many articles on contract, tort and unjust enrichment, in his years as SRF he wrote extensively on statute law, culminating in his Hamlyn Lectures in 2017 entitled Thinking about Statutes: Interpretation, Interaction, Improvement (CUP, 2018). He also led the Oxford-Burma/Myanmar law programme and taught an intensive course at Yangon University. He was President of the Society of Legal Scholars (2015-16), was awarded a DCL in 2014, and in 2015 was made an Honorary Fellow of Brasenose College.

Tom Bridgeland has been working with homological techniques in algebraic geometry.
