Norman Palmer Partial Scholarship

Norman Palmer

 

Norman Palmer was the academic principal of the Institute of Art and Law, under the auspices of which he provided countless hours of instruction to hundreds of students. His wisdom and intellectual curiosity produced several leading publications, including Palmer on Bailment, Art Loans and Museums and the Holocaust, as well as dozens of articles in the area of art and cultural property law. As a barrister, he specialized in the fields of cultural objects, personal property, commercial law, and dispute resolution, including the mediation of disputes over cultural objects. His clients included governments, local authorities, cultural institutions, religious bodies, indigenous communities, museum curators, art collectors, art dealers, transporters, and insurers. His knowledge and understanding of the field as well as his enthusiasm for it were unparalleled, and the LLM program in Art, Business, and Law is his legacy to Queen Mary.
