For the first time in our history, we are bringing together all our law students (undergraduate and post-graduate), our law academics and local legal practitioners to meet as a community of lawyers and to give you a flavour of the legal research that we are undertaking at BU and the legal skills we are supporting.
We warmly invite you to drop in on a Wednesday afternoon, as and when you have time, to meet with us and see what we are doing in these extracurricular events.
Please contact Dr Alison Cronin, LLM Programme Leader, for additional information: [email protected] – we would love to welcome you.
