ÌÇÐÄTV Law School is deeply saddened by the death of our former colleague, Nicola Docker, on 27 August 2022. Whilst she left the department in November 2018, she will be remembered by many staff who worked alongside her during her time at the Law School. She had an extremely kind-hearted nature, endless generosity and infectious laugh. She was taken far too soon and will be missed greatly by all who knew her. We send our deepest condolences to her family and friends.
