Our EDI Committee is looking for a student to undertake 20 hours of paid work on a project that will interview five lecturers who are making progress in decolonising their curriculum.

ÌÇÐÄTV alumnus Jake Schogger’s new book ‘The Training Contract Handbook’ was published by City Career Series in July 2020.

The handbook offers a solid grounding in the legal, commercial and financial knowledge required for commercial law interviews and internships.

As a Law School, that thinks about law in context, it is our responsibility to think critically of racism as structural injustice and explore ways in which the law may be used to change this. This Black History Month we are collaborating with Essex Law School and Kent Law School to provide a Series of Student Talks on Race and the Law.

William O’Brian, Associate Professor in the Law School, has just published his book on legal theory, entitled A Contractarian Approach to Law and Justice: Live and Let Live. It is published by Routledge in both hardback and electronic formats.
