Since its founding in 1972, the Centre has published many short papers, most of which were first delivered as lectures at the Centre. The series of Sacks Lectures began in 1973; other series include the Schreiber Lectures, Maxwell Lectures, Stencl Lectures, Jewish Law Fellowship Lectures, Frank Green Lectures, and Martin Goldman Memorial Lectures. The Centre also publishes the proceedings of short symposia held at the Centre and occasional single lectures.
