Role
I am a HPL in Law and so I cover predominantly the LPC/SQE teaching weekends and then any other SGSs that need covering. It is varied.
Last year I taught Property Law module (for the whole year, had my own group), covered some interviewing and advocacy and taught half the employment law module as a colleague went on maternity leave.
I am also supervising 5 students on the FT LPC with their dissertations. I am due to mark these in September 2024.
In the next academic year 24-25 I will be teaching:
- SQE FT- civil litigation x1 group (whole module up until Jan 25)
- LPC PT- family law x1 group (whole module up until April 25)
- LPC PT- employment law x2 groups until colleague returns in Feb 25
- LPC FT- Interviewing (likely for PT also)
