Research
Transforming | Law
Research is an integral part of Leeds Law School’s activities. We have expertise in a wide variety of legal areas but currently cluster much of our research around two research groups considering issues around legal education as well as international law, human rights, and the counter-terror law, all broadly conceived.
Our research groups
The Applied Legal Education Research Group encourages and promotes scholarship, knowledge transfer and research on all aspects of legal education. The group brings together researchers with a variety of backgrounds who share an interest in pedagogy, the academic discipline of law, learning and teaching on vocational and professional courses, the education and training of lawyers and other legal education issues. The research carried out within and through the group is grounded in appropriate theories but seeks to make a difference to students, law teachers and others working with(in) Law Schools or otherwise involved in legal education.
The group is led by Dr Jessica Guth. Please get in touch if you want to discuss any of our existing work or have ideas for future projects.
The Conflict, Security & International Human Rights Research Group captures the connected research areas of law and terrorism and human rights law. As far the threat of and the actual manifestations of terrorism, the focus is on exploring the role that law has within a wider counter-terrorism framework. Similarly, in an increasingly complex and globalised world, the focus is on the fundamental role that law has in the protection of individual rights.
The Group is led by Professor Simon Gardiner. Please get in touch if you want to discuss any of our existing work or have ideas for future projects.
