Uea Law School

The UEA Law School is excited to announce a new collaboration with The University of Law!
From this September, The Legal Practice Course (LPC), which is the main qualifying course required to practise law for solicitors in England and Wales, will be taught by the University of Law at UEA in Norwich. UEA joins 12 other universities who offer the course, including Exeter, Reading, and Liverpool. Teaching will be classroom-based for one year and students will have access to UEA facilities including the recently renovated Earlham Hall and Law Library.
You can find out more information about the course and how to apply here: http://ow.ly/50oK50udsMN

Have you considered working as an “in-house” legal advisor? Many large businesses, government bodies, regulators, and not for profit organisations, employ in-house legal advisors.
Many lawyers spend their entire career working in-house. Many others spend part of their career as an in-house legal adviser, and part of their career working in private practice (either as a barrister or within a firm of solicitors). It is fairly common for lawyers to move between private practice ...and in-house roles.
To learn more about a career as an in-house legal advisor, come along to our panel tomorrow in Congregation Hall at 16:00. Hear from a panel of in-house legal advisors working across a variety of different firms and sectors, and have your questions answered.
The event is free and open to everyone, there is no need to book.

We are incredibly excited to welcome prospective students to our UEA Applicant Day today. We can’t wait to show you what your UEA could be about.

Law Students,
If you’re currently in Norwich, you may be in the final stretch to finish your coursework. You may also be gearing up for the start of the new semester. If so, you’re going to want to start your day off right with a good breakfast to set yourself up for a productive study session.
You are invited to drop by and have a chat with Claudina Richards (Director of Learning & Teaching) over a free breakfast tomorrow. Here, she will be on-hand to answer any questions you may have about any and all aspects of life at the Law School. It all starts at 8:30 Friday, in Namaste, the Enterprise Centre Cafe!

Seasons Greetings to all our students and colleagues. Earlham Hall will now be closed until the 2nd of January. If you have any urgent concerns you can contact the UEA Security Lodge on 01603592352 over the holidays.
We look forward to seeing you all in the new year.
