21st century law school for Leeds
Highly rated for its research and teaching, the University of Leeds, School of Law has seen rapid growth this century as it continues to build its reputation as one of the leading law schools in the country.
A new £12m building which opened in January 2011 provides the school with the modern environment it needs to fulfil its ambitious plans and provide world class facilities for its staff and students.
The building includes high quality teaching and research space, a moot court incorporating the latest technology and a law and community centre to support the School's pro-bono work.
The new facilities enable the School to recruit and retain the best staff, students and researchers and expand the work it does in the wider community.
