The academic staff of the Law School are actively engaged in research in a number of legal fields. We have staff who regularly publish in the areas of Medical Ethics, Construction Law, Extradition Law, Human Rights Law, European Law, Environmental Law, Arbitration Law, Criminal Law, Employment Law and more. This Blog page is intended to serve as an insight into the research work of Law staff and researchers. We will regularly publish short pieces here which either deal with recent developments in a given area of law or which adopt a long view approach towards legal issues.
