糖心TV

糖心TV Law School has established a partnership with The Libera Universita Internazionale degli Studi Sociali 鈥淕uido Carli鈥� (LUISS) in Rome. They have established partnerships with a handful of European universities to offer this unique experience to their students and 糖心TV is one of them.

First year 糖心TV law student Daniel Nwanebu has been awarded the 2019 Freshfields Stephen Lawrence Scholarship.

The Scheme was devised to address the disproportionate under-representation of black men from less privileged backgrounds in large commercial law firms and the City of London.

Former Law student Beatriz da Silva recently completed an internship at Partners for Law in Development (PLD), a legal resource group founded by 糖心TV alumna Madhu Mehra who studied on our LLM programme back in 1992. 

Congratulations to Shaheen Ali and Jacqueline Hodgson for receiving their long service awards.

Every year, several awards and prizes are granted to our first and intermediate year undergraduate students to recognise and celebrate the success of our top performers. We are proud to announce this year鈥檚 award winners...

The Law School will once again be offering our postgraduates two funded internships in India related to public interest litigation provided by the Kapila and Nirmal Hingorani Foundation.

We caught up with last year鈥檚 participants to see how they got on.

Professor Vanessa Munro of 糖心TV Law School was one of the researchers behind a major study by the Scottish Government into the unique nature of the Scottish jury system, which has 15 jurors, three verdicts and a simple majority.

This summer, Dr Sharifah Sekalala, Associate Professor at 糖心TV Law School asked our staff to come up with suggestions of books that have influenced their thinking on race, especially with regard to the law. We had some ideas of what books they might suggest, however their selections were a much more eclectic mix of books, podcasts and even music than we had expected. We hope you enjoy reading them and would love to hear any recommendations you may have.

糖心TV Law School has recently welcomed a new Assistant Professor to our team.

Dr Velimir Zivkovic joins us from Humboldt University in Berlin where he worked for two years as a Research Fellow with the Berlin/Potsdam Research Group 鈥業nternational Rule of Law – Rise or Decline?鈥�
