Frederic William Maitland (1850-1906), son of John Gorham Maitland, was educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied moral sciences (B.A., 1873; M.A., 1876). He was called to the bar in 1876, and became reader in English law at Cambridge in 1884, and Downing professor, 1888-1906.

He became Ford's lecturer at Oxford in 1897, and Rede lecturer at Cambridge in 1901. He was also an honorary fellow of Trinity College. The F.W. Maitland Memorial Fund was founded at Cambridge in 1907 to promote education and research in the history of law, legal language and legal bodies.
