Early life and career in England

Lanham read for a LLB at the University of Leeds and the BCL at the University of Oxford. He was called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn.[1]

He was appointed Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Nottingham, where he taught and wrote widely on criminal law and legal doctrine. Between 1973 and 1975, he served as editor of The Criminal Law Review, one of the principal specialist journals in English criminal law.[2]

Academic career in Australia

Lanham relocated to Australia in 1975 to take up the position of Kenneth Bailey Professor of Law at the Melbourne Law School, the premier chair in public law and legal theory at the University of Melbourne.[2][3][4] He held the position until his retirement, after which he was appointed Emeritus Professor of Law.[5][1]

His scholarship in Australia addressed a wide range of criminal law subjects, including:
