David Ibbetson obtained his MA and PhD in Law at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. In 1980, he became a Fellow and Tutor in Law at Magdalen College, Oxford.

He was elected to the British Academy in 2003.[3] In 2004 he became Warden of Leckhampton, the College's site for postgraduate students.

Ibbetson is a Roman lawyer, but his research also covers the history of English and European law.
