About me

Anna Lukina is a Fellow in Law at the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Law School. She has recently completed a Ph.D. in Law at the University of Cambridge, funded by the Institute of Humane Studies’s Humane Studies Fellowship, the Cambridge Law Journal’s Partial Ph.D. Studentship, and the Modern Law Review Scholarship. Her thesis was entitled ‘Towards a Jurisprudence of Evil Law’ and focused on the relationship between law and extreme moral iniquity, both generally and with regards to Nazi Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union, and slavery in the antebellum United States.

Anna has served as a Convenor of the Cambridge Legal Theory Discussion Group. Previously, she has served as an Executive Editor of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy, a Convenor of the Oxford Law Faculty Public Law Discussion Group, an Associate Editor of the Oxford Undergraduate Law Journal, an Editorial Assistant at the Review of Central and East European Law, and a Copy Editor for the Brill-Nijhoff’s Law in Eastern Europe book series.

Anna holds an LL.M.  from the Harvard Law School (2020), a B.C.L. with Distinction from the University of Oxford (2019), and a B.A. in Law (Jurisprudence) from the University of Oxford (2018).

Research interests

Anna’s research lies primarily in legal theory. She is particularly interested in the jurisprudence of atypical legalities such as such as evil regimes, pre-legal and post-legal societies, and even supernatural settings and imagined realities. In that work, Anna also draws on moral and political philosophy, legal history, in particular Soviet law, and public law.
