Summer Law School

An understanding of the law can get you a long way, whether it’s knowing your rights at a protest march or negotiating a corporate merger. From police interviews to boardroom conferences, it is very often the lawyers who call the shots.

The study and practice of law requires a sharp mind, exceptional attention to detail and occasionally a flare for the dramatic. It can certainly be challenging and complex, but it is also a lot of fun to master. 

The Law Summer School will sharpen your problem solving skills, hone your ability to identify weaknesses in an argument or body of evidence and give you the confidence to advocate for your position (in court or anywhere else).

All three Law events emphasise experiential learning – from simulated client conferences, to business negotiations, to advocacy exercises, you will have the opportunity to practice and develop your abilities in a supportive environment where excellence is recognised and celebrated.

Exclusive to the online course, we will have an event looking in detail at international and human rights law, ideal for students interested in the cutting edge of 21st century legal scholarship.

The Law Summer School – Part 1 (Criminal Law, Family Law and Advocacy). See a more detailed outline for this course.

The Law Summer School – Part 2 (Contract Law, Civil Wrongs and Corporate Law). See a more detailed outline for this course.

The Law Summer School – Part 3 (International and Human Rights Law). See a more detailed outline for this course.

Please note that students can attend either one, two or all three parts of the Summer School, and that there is no requirement to have attended Part 1 in order to attend Part 2 or Part 3. The courses complement each other, but may also be treated as independent events.

Each course will include introductions to key areas of the law, seminars on some tricky and controversial legal questions, lively debates, and advocacy practice exercises. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss legal issues in depth with expert tutors, work on problem questions together with enthusiastic and motivated peers, and learn about what it’s really like to study law at university.

The tutors for this course are selected for their exceptional communication skills, outstanding academic record, and passion for sharing what they love about the law – see our tutors page for some example profiles.

With small seminar groups online (max 12), there will be plenty of opportunity for individual feedback and attention from tutors, as well as small group work and whole class discussions.
