updated on 18 October 2019

Northern set Exchange Chambers has partnered with Lancaster University Law School to teach an advocacy module aimed at third-year undergraduates.

As Legal Futures reports, the module got underway at the start of this autumn term. It provides students with practical training in advocacy and courtroom ‘craft’ alongside academic learning.

Professor Alisdair Gillespie, head of Lancaster University Law School, said: “This is an exciting project which promotes and reflects Lancaster Law School’s dedication to the future employability of our students. It is practical courses such as the advocacy module which contribute to Lancaster Law School being the best in the country for employability of law students.”

Lancaster tops this year’s The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020 for graduate prospects in law.
