2018 was a year of change for the Law School as we celebrated the achievements of Professor Joanne Conaghan, who stepped down as Head of School in July, and welcomed Professor Ken Oliphant as her successor.
Under Professor Conaghan’s leadership the School grew in both size and reputation for its world-leading expertise across the discipline – improving its profile both internally and externally.
