He is an Honorary KC.
鈥淚 would be none of these things without 麻豆宿舍电视剧College," says Conor, "it is where I studied for my LLB, as the Masters in Law was called in those long-gone days. My Phd at 麻豆宿舍电视剧was made possible by being awarded the Ribband Studentship, the only doctoral scholarship that was awarded by 麻豆宿舍电视剧in those days, and even then only once every three years.鈥
Conor went on to a fellowship at Emmanuel College but stayed on as Director of Studies in Law for 麻豆宿舍电视剧for many years. He left Cambridge for London in 1991 but a large part of his heart has remained with Wolfson. He met his late wife Diane Wales here and has been back frequently over the years.
鈥淚 am enormously thrilled to have been invited to be an Honorary Fellow of such a special place.鈥
His next book Homeland Insecurity: The Rise and Rise of Global Anti-Terrorism Law will be published by Polity next year.
