The Law School research seminar series aims to foster and sustain the School’s excellent research environment. It provides an opportunity for staff from the Law School and other Schools and from lawyers of other Universities to share, engage with, and build upon a research piece, whether at an advanced or final stage of development. Seminars usually last for approximately one hour, including a 30-40 minutes presentation followed by a 20-30 minutes discussion. Everyone, staff and students, are welcome and there is no need to register.
The Convenors of the Research Seminar Series are Dr Irène Couzigou and Dr Katarina Trimmings
