Glanville Llewelyn Williams QC (Hon) FBA (15 February 1911 – 10 April 1997) was a Welsh legal scholar who was the Rouse Ball Professor of English Law at the University of Cambridge from 1968 to 1978 and the Quain Professor of Jurisprudence at University College, London, from 1945 to 1955. He has been described as Britain's foremost scholar of criminal law. [5] Early life and education [ edit ] I do… and I am happy to say that the Cambridge Professor, ATH Smith, has produced the very best effort for a new edition after an absence of 20 years. Glanville Williams, Learning the Law (London: Sweet & Maxwell, 1945; 17th edition published 2020) [15] Spencer, J.R. (2004). "Williams, Glanville Llewelyn (1911–1997)". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (onlineed.). Oxford: Oxford University Press. doi: 10.1093/ref:odnb/66017.Williams, Glanville L. (1939). "Dominion Legislation Relating to Libel and Slander". Journal of Comparative Legislation and International Law. 21 (4): 161–178. ISSN 1479-5949. JSTOR 754588. Possibly Williams's first peer-reviewed article. Williams's influence in the highest courts was sustained and significant. One notable example is in R v Shivpuri [1986] A.C. 1, where the defendant imported harmless vegetable material akin to snuff believing he was importing drugs. The House of Lords held: "it was immaterial that the appellant was unsure of the exact nature of the substance in his possession in that in any event he believed that he was dealing with either heroin or cannabis the importation of which was prohibited." Lord Bridge of Harwich stated:

[5] The Law Journal said they expected it to become a vade mecum for those studying law. [6] The University of London encouraged their students to use the book. [7] Much of the original text survives but Professor Smith has given much needed emphasis to the new legal agenda of the early twenty-first century – gone are the old, archaic references – and in come new, thrusting European Union law provisions which will warm the heart of the most die-hard Eurosceptic.
