The school balances a focus on vocational training with an active research culture across both campuses.  In the last Research Assessment Exercise the School was rated 5; among the top rank of Law Schools in the UK.  The School supports the individual preference of its research active staff both financially and through the post of Research Co-ordinator who supports and develops research activity.  The general direction of most research is broadly socio-legal, often with connection to legal professional practice and/or government policy.  Details of the research interests of particular staff members are available via their staff web-page. For details of staff post-graduate research supervision and further research opportunities click here.

The School is also home to the Transitional Justice Institute, through which research conducted on this theme is supported. The Institute has been at the forefront of developing this field of knowledge, and is internationally renowned for the range and excellence of its work.
