In 2020, for the seventh year running, we are inviting students to take part in our Summer School. This year we will be exploring the effect of the coronavirus on the law.

The students' task during the course of the Summer School will be to critique the current law’s response to the pandemic and voice their opinion on whether the law needs to be reformed. During the sessions we will give the students the opportunity to engage with the law and cover this topic through workshops and guest lectures from experts in the area.
