The newly established School of Law and Society is looking to add 2 Lecturers in Legal Practice to its teaching team to strengthen the delivery of its suite of legal practice programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Successful applicants will play a large role in delivering and further developing our newly created solicitor apprenticeship programme, LLB Legal Practice SQE and LLM Legal Practice SQE. We particularly invite applicants who would be able to contribute to the leadership and teaching of at least one of the following subject areas: business law and practice, employment law, civil procedure, wills and probate and family law. Lecturers in Legal Practice will also be expected to teach at least one of the core undergraduate units on the LLB degree. Additionally, we anticipate that any successful candidate will be able to contribute to the scoping and development of future clinical legal education opportunities within the School, as well as to the delivery, organisation and management of our suite of other law programmes. We also expect successful candidates to assist with embedding the university within the professional legal community through continued engagement with our partner solicitor firms, chambers, public bodies, NGOs and alumni.
The School of Law and Society also has a flourishing research, innovation and knowledge exchange culture in law centred around the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy & Management (CIPPM), the MagPIE project (a £1.6 million funded project from the European Research Council & UKRI to develop a human rights framework relating to the protection and investigation of mass graves, and our Future Fridays Legal Skills Workshops. Successful candidates will benefit of developing opportunities within this thriving RIKE environment and are expected to engage and contribute to its further enhancement.
