Course summary

The Liverpool Law School’s academic research is respected internationally for its rigour and significance. We’re committed to contributing, through the excellence of our research and policy work, to critical exploration of the role of law in promoting (or inhibiting) social justice. Taking core values such as equality and citizenship, participation and exclusion, and vulnerability and social responsibility, as inspiration for our legal investigations, we also reflect upon how such values are themselves constructed and critiqued.IntroductionThe Liverpool Law School’s research clusters provide access to some of the most rigorous and advanced research in the field of law.Research topicsWe welcome research proposals which align with the research expertise of staff in the Liverpool Law School.Research topics could be related to:Access to justiceAdvertising lawAnimal law and ethicsBanking lawBankruptcy lawBrexitCare and welfareCharity lawChildren’s rightsClimate lawCommercial lawCompany lawComparative lawCompetition lawConstitutional, administrative and public lawConsumer lawCounterterrorismCorporate insolvency lawCorruptionCriminal law and justiceCritical theory and political theory approachesCyber lawData protectionDigital economyEconomic, social and cultural rightsEuropean Convention on Human Rights lawEnvironment and energy lawEquity and trustsEU lawFamily lawFeminist legal theoryFinancial crimeFood lawGlobal health law and non-communicable diseasesHealth and medical law and ethicsImmigration lawIntellectual property lawInternational human rightsInternational lawInsolvency lawInvestment lawJudicial behaviour and decision-makingLabour lawLand and property lawLaw in armed conflictLaw in AsiaLaw and developmentLaw and povertyLaw and technologyLegal historyLegal philosophyLegislation and public policyMarxist approaches to the lawMusic lawNational human rights action planningRight to a clean and healthy environmentSports lawTortTrade lawTrafficking and modern slaveryTransnational justice and criminal justiceWhistleblower protection.
