Law courses are taught by mix of visiting Notre Dame and UK-based faculty; all are esteemed experts in their field who are enthusiastic about educating the next generation of legal professionals. All courses are tailored to meet the academic requirements of the law program, with an added underlying thread of international or comparative law.
Learning doesn’t stop in the classroom—theory is brought to life through activities such as the legal London walk, discovering important sites that have influenced law. There are trips to European cities such as Geneva and The Hague, where students are able to interact with practitioners and experience how law is made.
Throughout the semester there are a multitude of conferences and lectures given by great legal minds which students are encouraged to participate in. Bringing together practitioners, students and academics, these talks aim to engender debate about current legal issues and broaden students’ horizons.
Beyond academics, the London Law Programme offers a number of social activities to bring law students closer to each other and the local culture. A semesterly weekend retreat allows students to get to know their classmates and build a community among themselves, and evening activities during the semester help students connect with London beyond its academic opportunities.
