Queen's University, Belfast — School of Law

 

Queen's University Belfast has a record of academic achievement which stretches back more than 150 years.


The most significant date in the early years of the University's life was 1908 when the three Queen's Colleges, and the Royal University (which replaced the Queen's University in Ireland in 1879), were dissolved and replaced by the Queen's University of Belfast and the National University of Ireland.

Throughout the 20th Century, Queen's continued to expand and develop. It has become one of the most respected universities in the British Isles, and its research tradition has gained it an international reputation.

Since its establishment in 1980, the Servicing the Legal System Programme at the School of Law in the Queen's University of Belfast has produced publications on various aspects of the law and legal system of Northern Ireland. It is the only regular publisher on Northern Ireland law and produces a wide variety of publications, as well as organising courses and conferences for legal practitioners, civil servants and other interested parties.

 

University of Ulster — School of Law

 Law has been taught in the University since its inception.

The School of Law was created in August 2001, as part of a broader project of developing and strengthening the Social Sciences within the University of Ulster . The school was awarded a 5 rating for research in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise.

Staff in the School of Law are based on both the Jordanstown and Magee campuses of the University and provide teaching on a range of programmes on those campuses and also the Coleraine campus.

The focal point of the School's research profile is undertaken in conjunction with the Transitional Justice Institute.
