Links with the profession

At Nottingham Law School, you will be taught by qualified practitioner-tutors, many of whom continue their links with the profession by providing consultancy services to law firms across the UK. Strong links with leading law firms, barristers’ chambers and the judiciary regionally, nationally and internationally ensure that our courses fully prepare you for modern legal practice. We benefit from the expertise of leading practitioners to help develop our courses, and guest lecturers help to put your learning into a practical context.
